G'day Bill, This tutorial, by Frank Butler, is excellent. http://www.concertina.com/butler/butler-the-concertina-tutor.pdf
Not that I'm saying you *have* to learn the English, but it would very quickly give you an understanding of it so that you could 'tinker' on it Frank introduces the buttons one at a time, and their equivalent musical notation, so you start making noise at the first lesson. I learnt far more about music, and playing, from this little book, in a few months than I learnt in three years of classical guitar back in school 😆
Cheers
