When you learn to ride a bike, someone teaches you how to do it.

You could go out and fall down a few times by yourself so it’s more fulfilling when you have instruction, but I wouldn’t say that’s the most efficient path.

I’d much rather have someone, or something, providing guidance as I learned to ride a bike. Of course you’re less likely to end up with a head injury writing an interpreter, but still, it’s not exactly a crime to learn before doing.
