What was your path for learning Rust?

I'm curious what's the most common way of learning the language and how much time you took?

I'm currently learning Rust by reading the book. I'm not in a hurry but I read it (and code) every day so at my speed I'll be done in a few weeks.

It certainly takes longer than other languages. I personally don't mind, but I'm certainly going to have a hard time trying to convince friends to learn it
