Dunno, I learned by :
First : Looking at scripts.
Second : Knowing what they do in-game.
Third : Then edit a little bit.
Fourth : Asks for help to learn more things.

The wiki is a great place for learning pawn. There's some basic tutorials on the wiki, along with a list of every function (in a_samp, a_vehicles, etc), and an example usage.

I just looked at smaller scripts, played them. Saw what something happened in the script (like getting a message when I entered a vehicle) looked through the script logically at the callbacks. Saw OnPlayerEnterVehicle, then I learned how it sent the message. Edited the message, etc. I just did this about 100 times until I found the wiki.
The very first place I looked though was *******. If you look for "Shehab Pawno Scripting Language Tutorial" there are some videos that he made (4) that really helped me with setting up the server, and learning basic things like cars and skins. However there's only 4 videos, so he doesn't go into great depth. After that, I just went back to editing.

I actually started out watching simple tutorials on *******, then moved on to the wiki for tutorials and at last to the sa-mp forums to find scripts to train with by editing and studying.
