Not all crochet charts are super easy to understand, so beginners are advised to start with a simple one.
For granny squares and flowers, the methods are the same, they all are worked in the round.
Using simple basic crochet stitches, like chains, single and double crochets, all worked at the right side of the fabric. Most of the motifs begins by chaining a few stitches. Then you join with a slip stitch, forming a loop. Then you begin working stitches into that loop. At the end of each round, you join the first and last stitch.

Colors that are typically made to crochet flowers are; whites, reds, pinks, yellows, browns and all kinds of green shades for the leaves. You can begin each round of a granny square or flower, with a new color, although it does not have to. To change color between rounds, join the new color in the stitch of the next round. When finished you can weave in the ends at the back of your work.

When you have a pile of flowers or granny squares you have to stitch them together. Use any comfortable sewing technique like the mattress stitch to connect them. Just make sure both squares line up stitch by stitch, and sew through two loops at a time, to seam them together. Have fun.
