People,
Today I bought inline skates, I tried them at home, but I found myself on the ground and couldn't get up again :=). So, how would I be able to learn it? Does any of you know how to do it, how did you start?

I'm no expert with in-line skates but I have several friends that are very very good! I understand that you should start off sat down next to something firm that you can hold onto to stop you falling over. Getting the balance right is the first part.......once you have that you sort of push off and away you go until you falln over 
At home, is perhaps not the best place to try as it is a bit confined!!!

this has no tactic honey... this needs to be patient and time period you will learn it with felling to the ground and standing up... up and down... up down thats it..

Hehe yes indeed!! And you must not be too scared. If you get scared to fall, you will! Becuase then ur body gets a bit nervous and tho you probably don't feel it, it makes you shake and loose your balance faster.
So just go for it, it'll be fine in the end!

I know that first I have to get balance, but if only I could stay on my feet more than 5 sec . I don't try it outside because I don'T want people to see me like that. And you told me to sit down and hold somewhere? But shouldn't I stand up to do it?
I think I'm going to put a pillow on my bottom bec it really hurts hehehe.

yes, true. I'm scared, bec of the wheels that slide under my feet. I made up my mind after I saw a 5 year old boy doing it very well, and I asked myseld why couldn'T I do it as well? but I think I'm a bit too old to start it, it's best to start this kind of things when you're a child.

Sit down and hold on to something firmly.
Then using your hands to stop you falling over - stand up!!!
Are there no circus skills groups near you that use a large hall or something - that is the ideal place to practice. Additionally, you will almost certainly find that there would be someone who can help you at such a group
