sure its possible. I am currently learning C++ at home and learned Java the same way. All you need for that is a book (or online tutorial) to show you the basic syntax and some time and creativity once you figured out the syntax. Try everything you learn out right away through making a small program (even if they do nothing usefull).

try to get hold of as many languages as possible, legal or illegals I don't care. and see which one is most suitable for you.
I'm current learning Delphi 7 with a book written for Delphi 3. Having tried java, perl and Python and stuff, I think Delphi is a lot easier. better? maybe.
