Definitely too cynical.
Open up the program, and mess with it. Load in some audio, something you want to fix. download a random youtube video if need and see what you can extract or clean up, just mess with it. start with the tools, explore each of their settings.
Once you get an idea of what the tools are doing, move to the layers and explore their concept/what they can do.
