On “What was painful in your process of learning Scala?”
i just started with scala this week. im ok with JAVA so i got alot out of this one video for the imperative and OO part of scala: link to this video
ive been doing project euler exercises since that. the syntax of the functional parts and some of the concepts look pretty alien tbh, ill try and see if i can get some lamdas working.. im taking over scala projects for my first assignments as a coder for work, so i expect a steep learning curve.

The fastest way to learn as much as you can about Scala is probably this video: link to this video
I didn't watch the entire video, but it seems it'll get you up to speed with basic stuff.
You can write a port scanner in Scala (that's what I did back in school when I was in a similar situation). That would be quick and easy thing to do, I guess.

in that case, find out what libraries they are using (or plan to use) just to avoid wasting time on irrelevant stuff.
free alternatives:
Odersky has a free course on core Scala (3) and FP i general.
