Sorry, but I've really got to disagree.
 
Pretty much [I]all[/I] of the calculations in LHE are basic.  Working out whether you've got the right odds to draw to a straight or flush is easy because the answer more often than not is simply "yes".  Implied odds play a much smaller role because there's pretty much zero chance you're going to stack someone for any significant amount if you hit big.
 
NLHE involves [I]actual[/I] math and implied odds actually count for something.
 
I'm not for a second saying that LHE is a basic or easy game - quite the contrary.  I think it's a hell of a lot harder than NLHE, I know I suck at it and I avoid it for the most part.  But unless we're talking about the most basic of basic learning exercises like "do I have a straight and what beats what?" I really don't think there's any reason for someone who wants to learn to play NLHE to start with LHE.  Learn limit because you want to play limit, not because you think somehow it'll make you a better no-limit player.
