i have to somewhat disagree with the learn the old school way.. digi is great.. you can see first hand how apetures relate to shutter speeds.. etc... my philosphy with my photography has always been learn everything you can and then forget it.. just play.. see what happens.. nothing excites me more than a planned accident.. messing with stuff. I think digi is great way to understand basic parts of photography.. and a cheap way!!!!
don't get me wrong.. I am alll about learning things the old way..i love old cameras... my current fav camera that i have been using is a 1920's graflex and a pentax half/frame..
I would say another way is to really study images that you like and try to figure out how they were shot.. look at the catch lights in the eyes of portraits.. also check PDN magazine.. they have a great article called "technically speaking" that breaks down how photographers approach that photos..
