Took a quick look at coderbyte, also keep in mind a big part of learning the language is understanding the different underlying types, how to convert between them, and what built-in functions they provide.
For example, the very first challenge (string reversal) in some languages you'll get a reverse function right off of the string, but in others you have find another way, which may involve getting access to each character and rebuilding the string by hand.
Try solving the same simple problem as many DIFFERENT ways as you can, that can really help flesh out basic understanding the way to Get Things Done in that language.
