Seconding. Learned to knit poorly with my grandmother, and crochet was very hard to figure out. All the videos I watched did not work out because the tutorial maker’s hands kept blocking what I needed to see. Maybe I should look back into crochet again.
Once I figured it out, I found crochet to be great, but I spent a good while on Afghan crochet as a bridge.
Finding a really good instruction book with LOTS of intermediate diagrams for each of the major stitched seemed essential. Then of course there were zillions of samples to be made before anything in a project was possible.
