I would treat it like other imperitive languages, and follow the compiler errors until you learn where to put the &s and *s. Stay away from traits, macros, async, and unsafe until you have the basics down. Running clippy will also teach you about available patterns. Maybe stay away from map/filter/closures etc in favor of loops at first. They can have tricky syntax.
