The best way to learn is by doing, however, a little knowledge about the basics goes a long way. 
Basic knowledge about the settings on your camera is a good start. Read the manual then read it again. 
Basic knowledge about exposure - aperture and shutter speed is also a good starting point. 
You don't necessarily need a formal class. Books and online tutorials can be a big help in getting the theory down. Then it's just practice, practice, practice and don't be afraid to experiment.

Take a lot of pictures, look at a lot of pictures and figure out what you like and don't like, take a lot more pictures.
Go to a Graduation Ceremony, wedding ceremony and take lots and lots and lots of picture. 

Take pictures of Trees, snow, cat, babies playing, baby smiling.

Start taking pictures now.
