What I like to do is to find some small script or program that does something of interest to me, then try modifying various aspects of it. You also learn a lot from breaking a script, then repairing it.
The important distinction of Scribus is that it is a Layout program, allowing you to carefully place and size all of its items. Because of this, I have used it for many small tasks where layout is key.
The term Frames comes from traditional printing operations, where there were literally frames that held the type, graphics and other elements at specific positions to be printed on a page.
Something else to note is that you can import ODT files from LibreOffice, and in addition the typographic fonts and styles from the ODT as well.
