This is not the only way to cast on, but this is the way I teach people because it is very similar to doing the knit stitch. You will be doing more knit stitches than casting on, so we might as well get started early.
There are other ways to cast on, and if you do a basic search on youtube for knitting for beginners then you will probably learn what is the long tail cast on. That's personally my favorite way, but I think it is overwhelming to start with, partially because there are so many ways to hold your yarn and do it. Once you get a little more comfortable with knitting, then I can show you. There is another cast on method which is basically twisted loops on the needle. That works fine for beginners, but it doesn't feel like much on the needles and doesn't give in the right way for your first normal knitting row, in my opinion.
So yeah, here are some videos for the knit cast on, which is what I teach.
This one is only 2:41.
And this one is over 6 minutes.
Both are fine.
