I want to learn the aviation alphabet, and when searching the internet on how to, I see a plethora of approaches, so I thought of asking here!
If it's primarily opinion based, let me know.

The best way is probably to start off knowing the marine alphabet. Then it's trivial!

The marine alphabet? Never heard of that... Why do you think that this will help @TobySpeight?

If it's anything like the Brooklyn Alphabet it's unprintable @gsamaras.

The marine radio alphabet is the NATO phonetic alphabet, so it's identical to the aviation radio alphabet. So if you already sail or otherwise use the sea, there's nothing new to learn (but some different pro-words, of course).

Presuming you're referring to the International Phonetic Alphabet, (alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, etc.) the easiest way (in my experience, from learning it as a disambiguator for phone work) is repetition, same way you learned the alphabet as a child, or the same way you'd memorize a poem. Get a written list of the letter names, read them through several times a day, and over time, start reciting without reading.
Do this several times a day for a week, you'll be close if not there. A second week and you should start to think in phonetic alphabet. A third week and you'll wonder why everyone doesn't think in phonetic alphabet.

"Did you just assume my" alphabet knowledge? Kidding, even though I don't really know the real alphabet, so I'd better learn the useful one! :)

Once you can recite it in order, practise by spelling out (in your head, if you're not alone) things you see in daily life. For example, if you drive, spell out each car number plate you follow. You might need a different source of letters if you're in a country where the plates are all-numeric, but I'm sure you can use some imagination...

I think that I just figured out the next pick-up line for a girl.. "Wanna hear your name in Aviation Alphabet?"... Damn, I did that already for the lady I met on Saturday, got half of them correct, I think! :)

BTW, I don't think you mean International Phonetic Alphabet; rather a spelling alphabet of which the NATO alphabet is used in aviation.
