Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Not going to stay open for long since this is too broad a question. Use the internet, it is there for you in case you need answers.

Personally, I found that learning how to use the terminal (command line) to be one of the most important aspects of becoming more familiar with Linux. Not only is it a powerful tool for getting stuff done, but it also forced me to learn more about Linux in general, prompting me to research new questions and ideas. It was described to me as, "If you can't do it in the terminal, it cannot be done, period."
I used the following resource to get started learning how to use the terminal:
http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
In addition Codecademy has a section for learning how to use the terminal.
Here is my suggestion, from one beginner to another, the next time you want to do something on your computer, use Google and see how it's done from the terminal. Practice creating new folders and moving and renaming files, try to compile a simple program from the source, learn how to use the terminal to play music, open images, format a flashdrive. Read the man pages and become familiar reading those (so you get the hang of the syntax; commands, options, arguments).
In my opinion there is no better way to learn, than to be hands-on. Have fun!
