The best way to learn is from someone else who can teach you.

If that is impossible you can search on the internet in your language for videos or sites.
Search with something like Learn to knit.

You Tube!!! I taught myself how to crochet from watching different videos, it is excellent

Yarn shops are a great resource and many offer group and/or private lessons. The internet, especially YouTube, is the next best thing.

When my mom taught me how to knit and crochet i was not going school yet, i was 5 ! It is a very good obsession :)

Most yarn shops offer classes and also some instruction if you buy the materials used at the shop.  There are some amazing instructional videos and tutorials on youTube, too.  I was taught as a child by an aunt.  Im now a grandmother.  But I was really not taught all of the basics.  Ive just had this lifelong fascination with knitting.  I crochet, too!  Im mostly self-taught but have published some patterns and done a lot of designing.  I just kept going!  I hope you are able to connect with some knitters and that you come to love knitting as much as I do!  All the best as you get started.

I learned self-taught, with books. At the time there was no internet.

My mother did try to teach me when I was a teen but I only went back to it much later. I re-learned with online videos and the internet.

You have likely done well by now, but I found that the best way to learn was in person. I had a co-worker help me.  She was great.  I did learn when I was a kid, but didnt really remember how. Good luck with your crafting.
