Just kind of throw yourself into it. Get used to the idea that the Linux command line does not hold your hand. But that also means you are in control.
The most important thing to remember is that the command line is just text. And that there are tools to manipulate that text. You can manipulate the output of one command and then feed it into other commands.
Once you mentally see that flow of text, you can come up with creative solutions to problems or to automate tasks.
You can experiment with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). It is literally Ubuntu in Windows. But it also has access to your Windows file system so don't go deleting everything. Get used to Linux before you commit by partitioning and dual booting your system or something. Or perhaps an old PC you have laying around can be your learning box.
