Definitely, Steve.

Lacking a full project, then having a collection of code katas of whatever form; Project Euler is just one obvious source if you’ve not accumulated several. Those can be small projects from years gone by, just re-done to exercise the new language (e.g. a window where you drag and drop files and get their hashes).
