New to Creative Suite

I have been trying to learn the creative suite on my own by working on our newsletter in indesign, our phtos in photoshop, and our videos in premiere pro and audition.  We would also like to create a website with one of the web programs.

I was wondering if anyone has some tips as to the best way to learn these programs and get an overview of all of the programs.  Books?  Videos?

I would appreciate any help, since it takes me forever to get anything done in these programs and I am pretty discouraged.
