I have been learning Spanish on Duolingo for the last 6 months and now I subconsciously open the Duolingo app when I want a break.
It is refreshing, fun and I learn something new in the process.
Bonus: No regrets whatsoever compared to the mindless scrolling on social media that I used to do before.
I speak Spanish and using Duolingo to learn Italian. Small world mi amigo.!
Well put, plus Doulingo is awesome 👍
Music. But in my case music is the job and coding the hobby.
Whcih kind fo music would you recommend me to code?
Are you a solo musician, play in a band, producer, sound engineer, mixing-mastering expert? 🎶🎧
I play in various band, I also have a few composition/arrangement gigs. If I did more solo gigs I guess my fridge would thank me ...
Do you have something online to listen to? Would love to hear 😉
Nothing too recent. I'll get back to you with a few old stuff 😄
Dog Training 🐕🦺
I am a triathlete so I spend a portion of my free time training each day. Beyond that I am also learning Spanish on Duolingo and I am a quasi-handyman so I am in the process of finishing my basement.
I play chess and read books. Recently learnt a few tricks in mid and end game in chess and mastered the openings. Learning a lot! Regarding book reading, I am doing something which was not possible earlier. Totally exploring a new genre-Realism. It's hard because it's opposite of most dilly dally self help books offer. It's raw and fresh :)
I've been practicing touch typing on keybr.com since recently my wrist gets tired very fast.
When the pandemic hit i went down to my local art supply store and bought a packet of 24 colored pencils ($6) and a tablet of 8x12 paper ($10).
Drawing! There is no right answer.
Baking traditional sourdough bread 🤗
