In addition to playing friends in person -- or on websites like Dailygammon -- check out this site (below). This backgammon training site will give you positions and situations and ask you to move. You will learn the optimal move (based on GNU, I believe) -- and be graded (using the ELO scoring system).
Over time, you should see patterns of weakness that should help improve your overall game. Enjoy!
