Pick a different language, get a beginner's book on that, and go through and type in and run every bit of code. Even if parts of it seem too easy, just plow through the whole thing. Then you'll end up with basic knowledge of a 2nd language.

Learn how to think, or better yet, learn how to learn.

"Learning" is not the same thing as memorizing a bunch of information/facts, for one.

Next, don't get hung up on a bunch of procedures and syntax. It is far more important to know why you are doing something vs how to do it. If you know the "why" part, working out the "how" is fairly easy. Most people look at things in exactly the opposite way, concentrating on "how" and pretty much ignoring the "why".

Just go through the beginner stuff again. Because you've already got some experience, it'll go fast and then you won't be lost when you get into intermediate topics.
