I've been trying to learn, but I have to have someone with me to explain things. Is there an easier way of learning? I've been learning the basics from the Scripting Book on ROBLOX Wiki.

I would recommend grabbing a simple free model, such as a VIP door, and reading the script. Read it until you understand it. If there's something, there, that you aren't familiar with and can not figure out, then feel free to either ask it here or check on http://www.wiki.roblox.com and figure it out.
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Table http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Variables http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Function http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Loops http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Conditional_statement http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Methods http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Arguments_and_Parameters http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Operators
These are some of the basics that you can use to learn what things mean, do, and are, so that you can use them to create your own things.
Another good way to assist in your learning is to check out some of the threads on this sub-forum, so you can learn from others' mistakes and successes. |

That's a GREAT example.
Like grimm said, it really doesn't matter where you learn. As long as you're comfortable learning wherever you're learning, but going on this forum brings you to higher priorities. |

By common sense, I suggest learning basics, then looking at scripts on the forum? I feel like this relates to the end of the reply that grimm posted, in the sense of learning from people's mistakes and successes.

| I just read the Wiki and tried it myself. Other than that I came here for help when my scripts aren't working. |

You dont learn. You learn methods over so many methods you can 'script' |

^ senseless
look at scripts in free models see how each line can contribute to make the script function the way it does
example an admin script (that's mostly where i learned from). |

nothing really tells you. use common sense and clarify what things do copy tutorial and edit it and completely redo it. |

scripting is just another language
learn the words ,ie. methods etc.
learn the grammar ,ie. the order of things to put in a script.

1st step is to familiarize yourself with Lua, as a computer programming language. This means to understand the syntax. Don't look for guides specifically on ROBLOX, but Lua in general. (It actually exists outside of ROBLOX...)
Once you understand how Lua FUNCTIONS, then learn to use it in context of Roblox. (Learning the built-in functions, the names of objects, the game-object hierarchy, etc...)
