The vim tutorial is probably the best way I've seen to learn vi. It is a plain text file that you edit in vi and just do what it says. It'll teach you how to do all the basics by actually doing them to the directions. I found a copy here http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/courseware/cse1402/PRACS/WEEK_3/vi-tutorial.txt Just save it to disk and then vi it.
