Hi James,
As the posts say above, get a skymap/skychart/starmap and now where North, South, East and West are and it will help a great deal. What i did was look at the chart and find the brightest star then find it above my viewing location then hop from that star to another bright star and so on. I did not worry about the fainter stars as i found it easier to use the bright ones first. I did it this way because i became flustered trying to find everything at once. Start on the bright ones then work your way around the the dimmer ones bit by bit and you will be set once you master this. I am still doing this method myself as i am still trying to read the sky.
