I usually look for video tutorials / articles. Then write my own thing using my new language/framework/library while following the documentation. But I personally find it's easier to learn new language/framework/library if you know someone who uses it.
I think it's a combination of everything. If I'm all in on something, I immerse myself with a combination of mediums. Some is passive learning, like a conference talk or a podcast giving high level ideas behind the tech, and some is active learning where I'm following along a tutorial or something like that.
Definitely a bit of everything. I find that as long as writing code and not copying and pasting, as well as doing a bit more than a tutorial tells me to I learn a lot more.
Making CRUD apps or tic tac toe games or whatever also helps to begin with. I think setting stepwise goals works really well, and it helps me feel that learning the entire language/framework/etc is in reach.
For me it's more about the mindset and actual act of coding as opposed to specific mediums.
