Keep your hopes up, look forward to beefing up your theory, and most of all, landing a position. :) Good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement though. I realize now that one month and 5 in person interviews isn't that much, but it's tough not to think I've exhausted my options.
It's not that little, either. Your parent comment has around the same number.
If you learn by getting something done, I would suggest pick a small enough problem, that you can solve in that language. Just know enough upfront about any language to get started, then solve your problem in a fixed timescale of 1-2 weeks. You don't need to commit a ton of time as well, 1-2 hours daily will suffice.
You will not become an expert in that language, but will learn enough through doing which comes across in `right` interviews.
That will also keep you busy till you find the next right gig, which I am sure you will. During my last job hunt, I went through the process for 3 months. So don't lose hope, keep busy and your spirits up. Best of luck.
