As others have said, rather than learn a language, solve a problem. Find something that bothers you, and write some code to fix it. The specific language doesn't matter.
Its kinda similar to learning a spoken language, there is no point learning French if you cant use it in someway.
Sound advice. During my first year of computer science, one of my professors told me that programming languages are just a tool to solve a problem. The logic to solve it is the key. Whether it's Java, Python, Go, etc. If you don't know how to tell the computer what to do, you can't program anything in any language.
