Either I come up with a new project or I rewrite an old project in the new language.
I used to do those old school language tutorials where we start with how to write a variable, then how to write a function, etc. but I think that's better for complete beginners just starting out.
I've done project rewrites. This minimizes the problem solving to mostly just syntax, sometimes a new paradigm if the framework is different enough. But in my experience a rewrites goes so much faster than I expect it, since theres a very clear goal to achieve while rewriting. If someone has an existing project to rewrite, I recommend it. If not, you could implement some project in a framework your comfortable with, and then do a rewrite in the new thing.
