How do I learn the accordion?

I suggest you begin by learning to play some short melodies, using just a few buttons.  Then you can begin to develop some patterns you can combine, that are a little more interesting and interesting to hear.

That sounds great. Any other advice?

What kind of songs do you like to listen to? I have found that sometimes learning by listening to other people playing can help motivate you to practice.

I like pop songs

One strategy for this might be to find songs you like that are short, then play them on the accordion, then try to learn them.  It might also help to learn songs that have a clear key signature and steady beat, so you can begin to play along with the rhythm, to help you learn to play without thinking about every single note.
