I am new to Abstract Algebra. How should I begin learning it. On the face if it, it doesn't look easy to me.I have bought the book by Prof. Gallian. Is there any other book or any videos which I can watch? Any other suggestions?

The book by Gallian contains interesting elementary problems, which a beginner should try, and they are arranged in n increasing order of difficulty; but once we start solving them one-by-one then all are easier.
The other book is "Abstract Algebra-Fraleigh" which contains exercises from elementary level to difficult level. It contains exercises of the kind True-False, which do not trouble too much to a beginner.
In both the books, there are answers to selected problems, so both are good for self study.
The other standard books would be:
-Undergraduate Algebra - Serge Lang
-Abstract Algebra - Dummit and Foot
-Algebra - Serge Lang.
