In my opinion find different sources of people teaching you the opening (could be videos, chess.com, a coach, a course, etc...) and then go slowly through the work. While you are learning, you should take notes with pen & paper to learn it the best. Also, start with the basic concepts of the openings, and then you can get deeper and deeper with more lines and variations. Finally, if you want to get better at playing the opening, just play it, and experiment with what fits you. If something happens in the opening that you didn't learn, analyze it to see what you should've done.

Hello OP;

I personally use Chessable to study openings like the Jobava London for example. Then I study some lines I'd see in games and try these openings out.

Chessable is my favorite way. I learn the quick starter guides on some courses, then try out the openings, and then go through the course part where most of my opponents are playing. For example, I got Anish Giri's French course and people were playing 3. Nd2, so I learned that part of the course and was crushing it with the open terrasch.
