Now you got six responses already and all are quite different. I think
it totally depends on the person, whether it's work time or leisure
time, what knowledge you got already, what your learning type is, how
much time you can spare.  I do not believe anybody can answer this
honestly from a distance - what works good for some, might not work
for you.

That's probably a good idea because it will help you understand what's
going on when you have to loot at Rails source code and the logic has
to be implemented in Ruby anyway.

Kind regards
