I am trying to spend some of my free time trying to learn new things. I think learning new things is one of the best ways to keep the mind active and try to grow.
One thing I am trying to learn is Russian. I’d really like to make a trip to Russia and Kazakhstan this summer and I’ll need to know Russian to make it happen. I am utilizing Rosetta Stone combined with my own writing and reading program. I think these together will give me the basic skills that I’ll need in order to learn Russian. I just wish I had more personalized practice and more time to make it happen.
Another thing I am trying to learn are Bushcraft skills. I am teaching myself basic skills so that I can take some hiking/biking trips over the summer. I think it might be a lot of fun. Of course in order to make it all happen I need to get into better shape. Let’s hope that can happen before summer comes. My health is a big question mark in all of that.
I’d love to hear about things you all are learning to do.
