One thing you might find helpful in learning a language is simply to set
yourself a goal of implementing some non-trivial program in that
language. Pick a program that you know how to solve and try coding it in
Ada. Keep the ARM handy and any texts you have available for reference.
By the time you get your program up and running you will have been
forced to look up the rules for enough constructs that you will have
built up a working knowledge of the language.

You might also go looking for the Public Ada Library - I don't have the
URL handy, but I'm sure you can find it via Alta Vista.
