Not very. I found it easy to learn from a pascal background, so you should have no problem. The Ada Lovelace tutorial is a quick intro, but for a more in depth you might want to look at Cohens "Ada as a second language" and Englishs' "Ada 95: The Craft of Object-Oriented Programming" are good. Cohens goes over everything, but is a rather large book and that might be offputting. Englishs' book isn't in print anymore, and is orientated towards beginners but it does cover Adas OO and generics well.
