You should watch the SICP videos, and play along with MzScheme. Sussman has a sort of rythym when he closes parens. It was definitely a moment for me when I sort of recognised myself doing it. I think once you have written enough functions in Lisp or Scheme, it becomes ingrained, that you sort of parens-match whilst reading back through the function. I've only written a few thousand lines, so it doesn't take that much practice. Obviously you sort of need a real project to even make a dent in picking up a language.
