Something to help you at least "hear" the F chord is to know what the notes are in the chord, and than try in a few places on the neck that are easier to play for a beginner.

Here are a few suggestions. The notes in an F major chord are the following:
F, A, C

C (1st fret on High E string)
A (2nd fret on G string)
F (3rd fret on D string)
-
A (5th fret on High E string)
F (6th fret on B string)
C (5th fret on G string)
-
A (7th fret on D string)
C (5th fret on G string)
F (6th fret on B string)
