Thanks galleryseek.
What types of things are you wanting to learn how to model? I learned by diving in head first, and got better by trying new stuff whenever possible.
I always recommend the "learn by example" type tutorials, but if you're not interested in that type of thing I'd say just look around your desk for whatever catches your eye (a glass, an ashtray, a camera, whatever), jump in and start modeling. You'll pick up new techniques with every new model.
