I've got a couple of posts at my blog that could help you here because I've
often had your problem with new languages.
http://straw-dogs.co.uk/blog/01/26/practice-makes-perfect/  <-- A list of
resources such as quizes, practice, games, tests and info.
http://straw-dogs.co.uk/blog/05/31/scripting-an-easy-life/  <-- Just some
ideas for automating tasks on your system(s).

All the best.
