1/ Scale focusing by feel (SFxF) is a quintessential strength of 35mm rangefinder cameras. All you do is associate how far away (roughly) something is with how much (roughly) you pull the tab. If you want to get the most out of a Leica, read on. #believeinfilm #shootfilmbenice
2/ You don't need to learn to guess how many feet an object is from you before you learn how to SFxF (it's irrelevant, though you'll get a feel for it anyway). You just need to look at how far away things are, physically, not numerically.
3/ Then you link that physical distance to the physical amount that you should pull the focusing tab. There are only a handful of distances that you really need, maybe 6-8: scenes, full-length portrait, 3/4 length, 1/2 length, or whatever (2x for horizontal and vertical).
