I was in college students trying to learn VHDL language, learn a period of time, but learning the relevant syntax is self-learning.VHDL language learning process of what needs to pay attention? At the beginning of the time to learn VHDL will need to download programs to the board to it? Or you can do a simulation?JUST give me some suggestions?i really appreciate your help.

after you write code take a look at the RTL Viewer (Tools => Netlist Viewers => RTL Viewer). this will help you verify that the appropriate hardware was inferred from your code. then simulation will help you debug your code without the overhead of targeting a development kit, etc.
