I’m going to learn to fly a drone and take some intensive Spanish. Tons of people in my neighborhood speak Spanish and I feel like I could help my community more if I could communicate better. Also considering volunteering with habitat to learn some building skills and help with housing in my city.
I’ve already got most of the survival skills down, sewing, gardening, cooking, camping, foraging.
I really want to learn Spanish, too, for a similar reason. I want to help my local immigrants. People think I can speak it often because of the way I look, which just makes me want to learn it even more. Know any good resources? I've heard of something called italki but other than that, not sure. Maybe look at a local community college course or something.
Sewing is another one I'd love to learn.
For sewing YouTube is a great resource
I know people who really swear by input-focused language learning like you'd find in this guide: https://refold.la/how-to-learn-spanish/
I suspect something like a tutor would probably be better if you can afford it.
