For me, the best way to learn a tool is for a quick example or two showing its utility, then practicing with those, reading the man as needed on specific flags. Google or bot ”how do x" ? Repeat : done

Some pages have a nice up-front synopsis of flags, others put them in a wall of text. Browsing the former can supplant Google, /\b-x while paging is helpful for the latter.
