Best way to learn a new game? (feddit.de)

Sure, the best way to learn is someone explaining the game to you live, but thats not always available.

What do you do? Read the manual, watch videos or something else? Any specific creator to recommend?

Read the setup and basic rules, start playing and read up specifics as they become relevant.

Depends on the type of game of course, but its usually fun even if we end up playing it kinda wrong in the beginning

This is how we do it as well. Prevents you from reading for hours on end. This way it's fun and rules tend to be remembered better as well.

If we do read up on the rules before starting we have to go back to the rulebook during play anyway because it's often difficult to remember everything you just read.
