IMO the best way to learn something is by trying to __change__ how it works. Instead of learning what you MUST press to go backward one word, think "Do I need this? And if I did, what shortcut would I assign to it?" Then go ahead and do just that. Little by little, you find yourself working in a system that was inspired by Vim but is tailored to your needs and wants. EXAMPLE: I use Karabiner on Mac. My hyper key (CAPSLOCK) can do cool things like: HYPER-W → Go back one word HYPER-E → Delete one word (backwards) HYPER-Q → Go to the beginning of line HYPER-A → Go to the end of line HYPER-S → Go forward one word HYPER-D → Delete one word (forward) LSHIFT-W → Select one word (backward) ... There _is_ a Vim extension for Karabiner, but this way I remember my own settings better.
