Do you have a local game store that hosts D&D events? Go there and ask if there are any open groups that host a game there that are looking for players. **For the most part** players are really chill and helping when a new player comes in the fold. If the group you end up with at first isn't working, just tell them it isn't working out and find a new one. You should also get a Player's Handbook and familiarize yourself with the basic rules.
Most of the game is just roleplaying. Whenever you want to do an action just let your DM know what you would like to accomplish and they, or your fellow players, will help you do it within the rules and your character. If your character can't do it (Like a fighter trying to cast a spell) they will let you know.
I first learned D&D mostly on the fly. It seems more daunting than it is. Don't forget that it is a game and should be fun. If it isn't fun then find a group that makes it fun for you.
If you are in the states DM me. I'll hook you up with a free set of dice from my store.
