Go through the tutorial. It is quite good and teaches things incrementally with real world examples. Just run vimtutor to start.

But why learn all that? Nano user here.

Depends how much time you spend in a text editor. If it is just for a few config edits and stuff, honestly there is little reason to learn. The real benefit is if you spend a lot of time editing text due to the time saved using more powerful commands. There is the additional benefit that vi/vim is installed on practically any Linux box, so you will almost always have a familiar editor to hand in an unfamiliar environment.
