Forum: School, College, University

Would love to start some kind of online discussion or group to bounce ideas and interesting study tactics off of!

I’m so down! Love this idea! I love self learning. I’m going to college for psychology but there are so many things I want to learn and not enough money/time for college for all of it. There’s a website called skill share where you take “classes” for all kinds of stuff! There’s a monthly fee type of thing but it’s like 20 bucks I think. Not bad.

Awesome! Yes! I'll see if I can manage to get a group discussion up eventually over time, I figure it'll take a bit to be constantly flowing with ideas or discussions, but I've been craving the experience of college study groups  -- minus the college.

Hi I love self-learning!


I've been learning ASL, I think I'm at the point where I can make small conversation. I'm in a Marco Polo group for beginner learners and its been really helpful. A bit hard to find the time now though between work and school.

yessss this is so me, I can never be casually into anything lol. I taught myself French and got really into the nitty gritty of linguistics and phonology just for fun, taught myself how to play ukulele and guitar and (mostly) piano, and lately I've been so super into gardening that I went from being completely clueless about it like two months ago to now being known as the plant guy to all my friends and family lol. I'm taking a break from languages but I'm working on Japanese next and I plan to continue learning the rest of my life.

I have self taught myself 3 languages successfully. Took a lot of time, but it works! I use Busuu, all my homies hate Duolingo.

Yup right here. I'm majoring in music production but I also went for psychology for a year before I switched schools and majors so if anyone needs any help let me know

i'm learning german but tbh, very much looking forward to taking actual courses as i find it hard to motivate myself and practice regularly. probably because i'm not that into it. i like the language and all that, but i'm mainly learning it because i have a german boyfriend and we would like to build our future in germany


reading and taking notes from my history books is a lot easier. it's nice to decorate them a bit and make mind maps. i find adding some colors, pictures etc very helpful. it's also productive to later re-make them prettier and clearer as it helps me to review what i've learned and organize things a bit

there are plenty of things i would like to pick up but i try to focus on these two as based on my experiences, trying to learn too many things at once leads to not being able to really learn anything

I would say self learning is my whole life, i basically self-learned my entire degree, tho it wasn’t easy by any means. I also studied three languages on my own, two of them are honestly still a work in progress, but yeah I have a long history with self learning, especially when i was in high school, i used to self study stuff related to 3d modeling and game development. And right now i’m trying to get into quantum computing

I am going back to college this semester. I am really wanting to learn spanish. I use a lot of apps like Duolingo but recently I have started joining fb groups and messaging people there back and forth. I need more people to be consistent but it is pretty cool.

Definitely me. I've taught myself a bunch of different things and I think it's safe to say I've learned a lot more through my autodidactism than from school (I'm currently in the 11th grade in case you were wondering). I think it also helps that I'm hyperlexic.

Me.

Some subjects in my school are very poorly taught. I basically learned english and math by myself on the Internet (history also, but the history lessons are actually cool in my school).
