This.

Also, once you decide on a language, do a project you're actually interested in. Todo apps are the new "Hello, world" - nice for learning the basics, but won't take you very deep into a language by themselves (they typically cover language syntax, but very little in the way of built in classes/functions).

As an example, when I first learned JavaScript, I did so by following some tutorials on basic stuff, then dove into re-creating an old NES game (Dragon Warrior). No libraries, no frameworks, just what was available in plain old vanilla JavaScript.
