Beginner of Braille - Needing Direction

You say there are many options for learning braille. Which ones are you actively exploring at present?
One extremely useful option is the braille learning courses offered by Hadley Institute for the Education of the Blind hadley.edu.
All courses are free of charge. You can register for them yourself right over the internet. Courses are conducted by mail and using the internet. So you can study in your own home at your own pace and a teacher will guide you along your way to becoming successful at reading and writing braille.
