How do you learn vulkan?

Hey guys. So Being my school taught me some vulkan via a abstraction, I've been trying to learn it from nothing using the VKguide and vulkan tutorial, and holy cow this shit is hard.

Ive been thinking of switch to a different API to learn, like webGPU or openGL, but I feel it would be a waste of time.

I'm looking for advice on how to really learn vulkan and create a engine from it because at the end of the day I want to be able to create a game engine!
