How do you usually learn a new language?
My way is to start a project, then figure it out as I go.

I find that books and tutorials are usually better reserved for learning concepts or frameworks.

    Its really great to learn with projects.. But at the end you will be unaware if most of the basics 😐 happened a lot of times.. Built a django server without having any knowledge on python.

    I learned all my Languages with Projects. But I never use any existing frameworks/libraries for the beginning.
    This helps a lot to get down the basics imo, but only works when you dont really need fancy things.

    Best thing to do is write a CLI app for utility or an fairly advanced hello world.

    Later on when you got enough langs, I dont really think you have to holb back too much anymore and just dive straight in as you already have the needed experiences from the others
