As someone on SO pointed out, the most important thing is to not be dogmatic about "your language". You can start out on C#, Pascal or Erlang, but don't be closed off to looking at or building toy projects in other languages. Especially if they feel weird or difficult, it probably means you need to look at the problem a different way. Learning new ways to solve the same problem is useful for a programmer, and it keeps your brain engaged.
