Education for free

Hey dear friends,

we are living in crazy times. Living as we have known it for the past 20 and more years has radically changed. As much as this is a challenge (it truly is) I want to believe it can also be a chance. To turn down the volume of the world and think - get philosophical! To improve our relationship to god - get spiritual! To exercise, run, stretch and develop new healthy habits - get sporty! To get smarter: One thing you can do in this long free evenings is gaining more knowledge and skills. I want to share some nice offers and platforms with you.

Always dreamed about being enrolled in an Ivy league university? Check out Harvard`s range of online courses - some of them are free.

A huge platform with online courses from universities worldwide - some are free, you have to pay only if you want a certificate. Professionals ;) take a course about an interesting content in a language they want to learn.

Who doesn´t dream about learning a language? Get started with a language app. 
So far I tried duolingo and I guess it´s a good way to start. If you are more advanced there are too many repetitions of too simple content. There is a free version and a paid version.

After all it´s also worth to check out your local universities offers. Mine offers language courses online for now and will switch them into classroom events as soon as the situations improve. 


As a little extra two options that are more about moving your body than your brain:

This is my favourite Yoga teacher on YouTube. I use it as a soft way of stretching and exercising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBstij2DS2k

And this is one of my favourite dances - FORRO - and Corona gave you the wonderful opportunity to learn it online and go crazy dancing after the pandemic is over. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0rSThJ_gHmhcMTMqBlwT3A


Let us make the best out of the situation. Let´s not waste it with binge watching series but take the chance that underlies.
