How to crochet very easily for beginners?

Hi. I can't find any videos telling me on how to crochet, and I need help on the holding positions, and how to crochet correctly for beginners. Thanks. If you can please give me some links to videos please.

1. try here http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=690A55EC532071F0&search_query=Crochet+beginner This a good one to begin with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6cg3nczQoM&feature=PlayList&p=690A55EC532071F0&index=10 Or just go to youtube and look up "The Art of Crochet by TJW"
2. I did not check out the videos but pick the one you are the most comfortable with and then put it into your favorites so you wont loose it http://www.nexstitch.com/v_crochet_videos.html http://www.nexstitch.com/Tutorials.html http://crochet.about.com/od/learntocrochet/tp/Crochet_Videos.htm. http://www.ehow.com/videos-on_5306_crochet.html http://www.hassdesign.com/CrochetStitchVideos/Treble-Crochet http://crochetpatterns09.blogspot.com
3. Yes, I can. I found this wonderful link for DVDs on knitting and crocheting. It was especially helpful in assisting me to teach my grandchildren. They also have DVDs for adults, both beginners and more experienced knitters and crocheters. The site is www.TheArtOfKnitting.com. Try it out and let me know if it is of any help.
4. Oh, there are hundreds of sites online that show you how to crochet. But one thing you need to know is that not ALL of them are correct. Just because it is on the net doesn't mean it is right! But the best way is to take a beginner crochet class. These are offered everywhere.. just look around for them. Ask at your LYS -- they always have them, or the community centre or church group, or any local guild. You can also ask someone in your neighbourhood that knows how (although they always don't do it properly either). You need to have someone show you what to do, and then watch to see that you are doing it the right way. Once you learn a bad habit, it is very difficult to un-learn it and then re-learn it the right way. Take a class. You will never regret it.
