I'm curious about the right approach to learning a programming language. I know that practicing by writing code is crucial, but what about more structured methods? How can I effectively study the construction and theory behind a programming language? I'm often overwhelmed by the time commitment involved and how little time I have to dedicate to this task.

Honestly, it’s all about learning through experience. Get a good book about the language you’re interested in, and tackle some projects. The majority of your time should be spent solving problems and using resources like documentation or forums to help you along the way. The more you code, the better you understand the language.
To be honest, I never really 'studied' language syntax in depth. My curiosity drives me to learn through questions and problems I encounter, especially during my computer science studies. Once you move beyond just syntax and start thinking about how to use a language creatively to solve problems, it becomes much easier.
