What source is better for beginners?

Hello, ladies! A friend of mine decided to learn how to crochet.  And she asked me where to find tutorials or tips. To read or to watch.  The last question I couldn't answer. As for me, it's easier for me to read the instructions and follow the scheme. But I know, that many prefer video.  What would you recommend?  Thank you for your opinion!

Read the pattern

 Include written patterns and graphs. Not everyone ( including me ) can understand the graphs.

Thank you!

I would say youtube.com when I want to learn a new stitch that's where I go Tami Hamilton
