I learned Smalltalk V from the tutorials but I had no previous OO experience.
Maybe you should just jump in with THINK Pascal writing a program.

I found 680x0 Assembler very easy.  There were several good books at
B. Dalton.  I just bought a couple and started writing 'Hello World' type
programs. MPW wasn't invented then so I used McAssembly from Signature
Software. It was $50 or so shareware. It's a great little language. Look
for it on the Major On-Line services. Dave McWherter wrote it and then wrote
Vantage in it.
