language-agnostic

Are there any programming exercises that apply to any language? Before I got my first job, I thought I knew C# pretty well, then I was thrown right into the deep end, and now I know I have a good command over the language.

I would like to apply the same method to other languages, but unfortunately, I'm sort of stuck with C# at work.

Ideally, something similar (but broader in scope) to Project Euler is ideal. Project Euler helped me learn a ton of C++/F#, some math, algorithms, handling bignums, etc.

I'm looking for something like this.
