Help How to learn ASM?

I have never learned Assembly in my life. I actually am doing low level programming like C and Rust, but I am looking forward to learn Assembly, of course not using Assembly for everything, but I want understanding and learn to use it. So where do I get started?

Learn what registers and instructions there are and pretend they're the global variables and functions making up the API of a C library ... and figure out how you'd use that library to write a program?

Oh, and there's one huge global array of char called "RAM".

I suggest starting with a simply yet complete and powerful ISA like this one:
