I've actually found that building a Lift project is a fairly effective means of learning Scala, because Lift tends to use a lot of idiomatic Scala that you don't necessarily see in context when reading the Artima book. It can be a lot to take on at once, but I've found that being exposed to and forced to use some of the more unfamiliar language elements (coming from a C/Java/Ruby background) has accelerated my uptake of those features. Particularly when things haven't worked quite as expected and I've had to go digging in the code to figure out what was going on. :)
