For example by implementing Prolog in it? Prolog seems to be the favorite embedded language of Lispers (Graham, Norvig).

Honestly, I'd just say "get past started" for now... But yes, implementing prolog would be great... Check out the Reasoned Schemer... but only after Little and Seasoned.

Trying C and implementing a Scheme in it would teach a lot about C and Scheme as well.

It is sort of like learning Haskell and Scheme simultanously with "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours - A Haskell Tutorial".

(http://halogen.note.amherst.edu/~jdtang/scheme_in_48/tutoria...).

Very true, and good advice... I just want them to not dilute too much and learn the language at least enough to decide if they like it or not.
