If you want to learn Ruby, than learn Ruby. Learning Rails is not the same as learning Ruby. I suggest anyone who wants to learn Rails learn Ruby first because that's what Rails is built on. There are numerous options for learning Ruby, you can try codeacademy, or learnrubythehardway.org - both free options for learning Ruby.
