Answer 3

@Mohammad Ali: Pls don't "sir" me. I'm just a normal guy with experience. :-)
I would say it depends on the language complexity and on the problem complexity of the problems you typically solve with a language. As Bjarne Stroustrup said in an interview: "C++ is a tool meant to be used for building important artifacts." Important artifacts are usually hard to write. Also the language complexity, if you want to use it's many features to it's fullest, is considerably higher than, say in C.

Answer 4

Stay interested in it. Read articles and program every once in a while. Solve a problem that seems worthy of solving and doable with the skills you have.

Answer 5

@Mohammed Ali: Not really, but it's a good and easy start. That's worth a lot as learning can be hard.
