An introductory Coursera course on programming in R, taught by Roger Peng of Johns Hopkins University, covering the language basics and how R works in practice.

These are interesting exercises. I would also add that what it means to learn, or begin to learn, a language in general but R in particular could vary widely.
Some people actually need to learn statistics while they are learning to express those concepts.
Some people need to learn idiomatic R. I really didn't think of R as very functional till I took Peng's (excellent) Coursera course.
Some people need to get a sense of the libraries available.
This is an intro to get some practice in the the classical, original purpose for S, Splus and R: linear algebra operations in R.
