Quarantine Skills.

[gianteagle]

I tried to take up juggling and sort of got and then took 5 and when I tried again totally lost the feel for it.
Has anyone learned, or tried to, anything or any skill in their quarantine caused free time?

I tried to learn to be ambidextrous... I dropped a lot of things.

tried learning Korean and stopped as soon as i started . i know it's not good to give up on things . but learning that( korean) is just as hard as learning Japanese ( which i have yet to finish learning)

now i just stick to listening to k pop

Languages are pretty hard. Especially when they have a bunch of characters.

I was going to say butt-surfing on the couch, but I'm not sure that counts as a skill.

Yes. Especially since many words are very similar to english. I know a little of both (french because of school, spanish becuase i thought it might be fun)

Or just learn English again. All the characters and words are exactly the same. Even some of the spelling is the same.

 

[gianteagle]

more than half the english population doesn't even fully know hardest language to learn apparently

If your butt stays on the couch rather than falling off -- it's a skill

I also tried to learn German... It’s crazy hard!

I got better at the piano, much better. Before quarantine started, I only knew Fur Elise by Beethoven, two Chopin Nocturnes, Turkish March by Mozart, and had composed a simple short piano solo piece. This was with a little over 5 years of piano experience.

During quarantine I polished up those pieces. Then I proceeded to finish a second composition, which was more complex than the first (still pretty simple tho). After that, I learned two more Chopin Nocturnes and Chopin's Waltz in C Sharp Minor. All in the span of some months.

Currently learning yet another Chopin Nocturne, which will bring my total up to 5 memorized nocturnes (my goal is to learn all 21 of them).

I literally couldn’t understand half the words you put in there lol.

Yeah, music is a complex thing when you've invested a lot of time and energy to it. Not helped when some piece don't have names and are only known by things like their opus number and key signature.
