I started learning scripting 2 months ago, I know the basics, but I feel like a total noob around you guys.

I started about a year ago, and am already developing my own admin commands. The main factor is how long you spend trying to learn it. The less time the longer it takes.

Hmm... Maybe it's because I haven't put much effort into scripting as you guys, I only got really interested into scripting like a week ago but I didn't know where to start so I just started watching tutorials from YT, but before that I didn't really pay much attention to Lua.

If you want to get better, try doing something that you haven't done before. Ask around when you hit a wall, or use the Wiki.

No problem, so long as something doesn't smell "fishy", were friendly.

Inside jokes ftw.

Depends how you learn.

I have skin, potatoes have skin, therefore I'm a potato.

@Summer, I find that it isn't how long it takes you to learn.. It's what you learn. I started by making a game, which helped with the logical steps. I also found a ton of methods and properties while doing so.

@siege, It will take you anywhere between a few weeks to a few months to learn the basic syntax, depending on how good your memory is.
Look up PeasFactory and Friaza Hyuga on YouTube.
