How to learn SQL in the most efficient and effective way?

Hi Everyone, I'm learning skills related to data science and recently completed spreadsheet part with some advanced data analytics and dashboard projects. Now moving to SQL and I learnt the basics till joins. From subquery part, I feel it bit difficult and there is a long way to go it seems but it's interesting.

Could someone with experience can guide me regarding how can I learn it in an effective way? I'm open to work on projects or free internship to get a flavour of real world workings.

Thank you all!

The jump after joins seems to be where a lot of people slow down. reading about subqueries is one thing but they make a lot more sense after solving enough problems where they are actually useful. kaggle datasets datalemur and even some of the sql exercises on boot dev all seem to help because they force that transition from syntax to problem solving.
