- Start with an ambitious project
- Get stuck
- Curse everything about said language or framework, "why did they do it like this"
- Read the docs and find out why they did it like this
- Feel stupid
- Finish the project (or at least the part you actually cared about) with your new knowledge
- Feel smart
- Repeat until you know said language or framework

You should be learning a bit more with each loop though.
Even banging your head on the wall against something eventually gets you somewhere.
-
I get stuck at step 2
