Make something! Internal tool, something to scratch an itch, doesn't matter. Try to make something you'd know how to make in another language, but that will be challenging in your new one.
Too often "studying" can be procrastination. Find a kernel of the language that's "just enough" and run with it.
I used to try to read books, but I find for me it's much easier to use books as reference than as introduction. You find the corner cases in a language very quickly if you just move fast and break things.
