Hang out in #haskell in IRC (freenode). That's probably the best
resource you'll ever find when learning Haskell.

So here's the strategy:
1. Read tutorials
2. When you get stuck, ask on #haskell
3. Goto 1

(yes I deliberately wrote an imperative algorithm using gotos to
describe how to learn Haskell, and I found it amusing)
