What's the easiest way to see through a form?
I always imagine what I'm looking at cut in half.
I do the same thing whether I'm looking at a reference or when I'm drawing from imagination. I always pretend some one ran an imaginary knife through whatever I'm drawing.
Does anybody have an easier method than that?
Once you master drawing simple shapes in 3d objects (in any perspective), seeing through forms is second nature.

What's the best way to do that though?
I always draw cylinders from life from basic objects around the house.
I'm trying to get a good mastery before I walk away from form. Since I've been drawing in 2D for so long, it's the first thing that flies out of my mind when I pick up a pencil.

just do it a lot, there is no secret.

So should I just keep drawing from life?

You can study forms in photos too

I'm kind of scared that I'm too inexperienced to do that accurately.
I'm worried I'll start doing it incorrectly and turn that into my habit.

Yea keep drawing from life. You'll see and feel yourself getting better.

A lot of people fear that, however when you look at something you did even a normie could sense that something is wrong. Just make sure to stay selfcritical. you don't need to worry about "bad habits" as long as you stay sincere and self critical

Have you studied perspective?
Always try to draw and understand the "back lines". What would the base of that cube look like if you were to draw it? Same with the cylinder, cone, and sphere. Whenever I draw an object I'll always draw its base so that I know the space it incorporates.
