I am finally going to learn to play the Piano. I have tried in the past and found I really enjoy the practicing yet I would let life get in the way and fall off.

That's great. Where are you learning it from?

Previously I used my iPad with an app on it so was going to do the same thing again.

Are you planning to use something online to learn? If so, what?

I use my iPad and a few of the apps. It is quite fun actually, you can stop, restart parts you don't like, put it into loops, speed up sections or slow them down.

A Japanese language course at the community college after getting sort of burned out on apps and Anki decks. Hoping I can make friends with some native speakers, or at least other students interested in practice.

A course made a big difference for me after solo’ing through the first part of covid.

I really want to take the how to solve it with code jeremy howard course, but it was already full by the time that I heard about it. So I probably shouldn’t be mentioning it on this thread. LOL https://solveit.fast.ai

Same here. And I heard about it like a day after they talked about it... :)

Hoping another class opens up.

Not a course, as such, but reading “Measurement” by Paul Lockhart, of “A Mathematician’s Lament fame.

I’ve never read anything that so clearly communicates and leads you into a state of mind that COMPELS you to prove mathematical conjectures from first principles.

I found myself furiously sketching geometric proofs and simplifying algebraic conundrums with an enthusiasm I haven’t experienced in decades.

And a course on sewing for beginners and continuing Japanese.
