I learned using this page: http://jass.sourceforge.net/doc.
Read it through and maybe print some pages out for reference later.
Then start the trigger editor, add two or three actions and convert to custom text. From there, each of your actions takes up one line of code (unless it's an if-then-else, or a for-loop or something like that).
For example:
Code:
Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)
will turn into...
JASS:
call KillUnit(GetTriggerUnit())
Then you can try pressing CTRL+Z (undo) and change (Triggering Unit) to (Casting unit) and see how it changes.
Hopefully you will realize that the stuff inside the parantheses is the unit to be killed.
Keep fooling around by converting back and forth.
One basic action in GUI converts to one function call in Jass.

Just keep trying. The first thing you should do is understand it, writing it yourself is the second step.
