You may be right...but learning is not an atomic thing....wherever I start I will get strange things happening.
The best place to start learning Haskell is with the simplest type features, not the most complicated. And it's the simplest features that are most unlike OO. Yes, Haskell will be `strange'. But if you think you're `the intersection' between Haskell and OO, you'll think things are familiar, and you'll be surprised when they turn out to be different. I'd concentrate on watching out for differences --- but then I can't imagine how finding `familiar' ideas would help. jcc
