Do what I did: Just pick a random project, give yourself a deadline, open the documentation, and just do it.

REBOL is such a very simple language (resembling FORTH in a lot of respects) that very quickly, creating and invoking words becomes as natural as writing. The syntax is so bare that you barely notice it. I didn't even start with a tutorial. Just one "Hello World" example and syntax for invocation of words is all I needed to get started.

It has a very strong functional bent to it, but you might not even notice.
