A question a day

Have you learned anything new in the past year (a new hobby/craft/language/fact)?

In the last week or so I discovered Indian Club Swinging and I am attempting to learn that. I have learned how to do forward hearts and I can do reverse hearts in a wobbly and slow way where I have to think about every movement before I do them.

I like to take things up, but I do have a tendency to abandon them as soon as they get difficult, so have I really learned anything in my life at all? Your definition may vary.

I would say yes, because even if you give something up, you've learned that you don't enjoy it enough to keep spending time on it, and you still will have learned a modicum of information about it. We don't need to become expert at a thing to learn from it.

I have been learning Chinese with the HelloChinese app from the end of December, every day!

Could I speak anything? probably not very well, but can I hear things? Yes! :D

Nothing wrong with just doing the fun bits :)
