how do i learned c++

Hi doods
This is addressed to those who know C++: how did you learn?
I have just started and am reading/following tutorials at http://www.cprogramming.com/, and memorising some script (so far the obligatory "hello world" coding), but I was wondering how you approach learning a new programming language or how you learned C++ at the very beginning?
