Since TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, naturally you have to know JavaScript first. TypeScript simply adds properties, specifically statically typed, to your JavaScript code, making it easier to maintain.

It’s more like learning a new language without grammar and rules

No cutting corners you have to learn the fundamentals of the language first. It's like trying to learn React before you learned JavaScript 😂
