Learn by doing.  Set yourself a major project, say, an
original game or a port of a library.  When you get
stuck, solicit help from the list.

Or that.

My Euphoria came with two pretty good documents,
REFMAN.DOC and LIBRARY.DOC

Not much info on Latin?? Caeser's "Gallic Wars" is
widely available in the original Latin, as is a
bunch of Ovid.  Sit down with copy of Gallic Wars
and a Latin dictionary and write (1) a page worth
of Latin and then (2) the English translation. You'll
learn Latin.

Likewise, write a couple of pages or two of original
Euphoria code and in 9 months you'll wind up with
(uhhh) 32000+ lines of Euphoria code.  You'll learn
Euphoria.   (Though I tried that with C and wound up
with a headache.)

Too easy.

You're welcome. :)
