NLTK tutorials are interesting for the absolute basics in Python, e.g. http://www.nltk.org/book/ch01.html. The field has moved into advanced Bayesian and neural methods, but NLTK still has a use in pre-processing and thinking about how to work with text. The first thing to recognize, I think, is to realize how hard many of the language tasks are that people do trivially.
