I have a "step by step" list of stitch abbreviations and instructions
on my Crochet Basics page:
http://crochetnmore.com/123basics.htm
Once you familiarize yourself with the crochet abbreviations you
can start reading patterns.
Step by step illustrations
of the basic stitches can be found here also:
http://www.crochet.org/lessons/lessonr/lessonr.html
Sites with information on various specialty
stitches are linked here:
http://home.inreach.com/marthac/stitches.html
I have a page about How to Read a Pattern:
you can find examples of pattern language explained in English.
I recommend the following patterns to begin with:
Crochet a dish cloth
Crochet a hanging dish towel
Crochet a scarf
There's a video available here called Crochet From Start To Finish*ing :

A nice DVD - I can't believe I'm Crocheting
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000GD85IU/crochetnmore
I have a book available on my site called
"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Knitting and Crocheting"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1592574912/crochetnmore
You will be crocheting again in no time!
I'll be happy to help you understand any confusing pattern language.
