It's very easy and intuitive - it's just loops of yarn, pulled through other loops of yarn. I'd be happy to teach you, but it might be tough to learn from me unless you're also left-handed. I'd be willing to try, though, and I have a book with diagrams for left or right.
I'm sure I could learn left-handed. I am not fully right-handed; there are some things I can only do with the right, some with the left, and several for which I can use either hand. If crocheting is anything like knitting I should be ambidextrous at it.
You need to be able to manipulate a hook with one hand and yarn with the other; if you can knit either left- or right, you should be able to crochet either way, too. Only problem is that patterns are written for right-handed people. Most of the time it doesn't make a difference - I mentally switch them over if necessary, but it's not often - but once in a long while, I'll come across one I can't do at all. Still, those are rare, and very detailed patterns, and in ten years it's only happened twice.
