In addition to tutorials, use it for real, but starting with some fairly trivial (in terms of complexity) tasks - like editing .config files. Then add more complex tasks - perhaps editing LaTeX files (this is actually how I started on Emacs - AUCTeX, the Emacs package for TeX - is surely the best LaTeX editor).
