I thought the whole appeal of Delphi was how easy it was though. In terms of the base language, Pascal is pretty easy to pick up. Any dev worth hiring would come up to speed pretty quick.
Yeah if you've been exposed to C, C#, Java, Go or similar you should pick it up quite quickly. Unlike C++ the syntax is fairly strict so you get fairly sensible errors most of the time, or a least in a relevant location.
