From my experience, I definitely learn the most by doing, not watching, reading or listening.

As long as you know enough to get started on <project>, then you can just look things up as you get stuck.

There is an element of "you don't know what you don't know" when you're new to some stuff, but as you gain experience, the effect is less.
