You have to realize that nobody just goes and "learns HTML5". HTML5 is a very broad collection of mostly new web APIs. Some of these include: The canvas element, Timed media playback, Offline storage database (offline web applications), Document editing, Drag-and-drop, Cross-document messaging, Browser history management, MIME type and protocol handler registration, and Microdata. Nobody would go and learn all of them unless they needed them. Expert canvas users may know nothing about browser history management, and its possibly they will never need to. Think of somehing more specific, like some sort of thing you want to do (make a good Canvas apps, make a good app that uses WebSQL, have a good reason to make use of Web Storage, etc). In short, there isn't a reason to touch any specific part of HTML5 until you have a specific need to do so. There are books that gloss over each of these topics like HTML5: Up and Running or websites like http://diveintohtml5.info http://diveintohtml5.info. If you are looking to increase your general knowledge of whats out there and what can be done with it, I'd look through those.
