This might sound counter intuitive, but this worked the best for me:
Don't go from simple to complex. Go straight for the deep waters.

I went this way: figured out something I would like to build, and I started taking it apart and figuring out each part, how it behaves and connects to the next component.
Context helps. It's better to learn databases by creating a webapp that interacts with a database, than just practicing queries on an isolated db.
But that's my view.
