How did you learn to knit, and where do you continue to learn new techniques?

YouTube on both counts. I've tried knitting a few times and it just didn't work for me. Tried English and continental. Finally stumbled on Portuguese and it just worked perfectly. I've only knit a few things since learning, but my main problem now is that anything beyond knit and purl I have to try and translate into Portuguese, and it makes it a bit difficult sometimes.
