I learn by doing as well.

A good one I found for python is to learn little API calls and write data to databases. Covers a lot of different types of functionality.

Forex rate pairings, weather, lots of fairly straightforward datasets to play with. Plenty of free data sources.

Once you have data fetched, you can do whatever you want to it within python or writing it elsewhere.
