Something you'd like to learn.

What's something you want to learn to do and why?

I've got two things: 1) I want to learn to do that fire breathing thing, it just seems so awesome!

2) This is going to sound ridiculously nerdy, but I always wanted to learn to speak Elvish, like from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings :P

I want to learn falconry. I love birds of prey! It would be amazing to work with a falcon/hawk/eagle. It amazes me what they can do, I've seen a falconry video where two large eagles took down a deer.

As for normal things I want to learn, it would be great to brush up on my Spanish and be able to say more than "I don't speak Spanish." and "Where is the bathroom?". I took 4 years of it in high school and I didn't learn much because at the time I didn't want to be in the class. :(

french..i'd like to learn to speak french

and MMA..both my little brothers are excellent cage fighters and they kind of talked me into it(i used to fight alot when i was younger)and i work out so i figure i could put it to good use :taz:

Oh, falconry is amazing!! I love birds of prey too, if I ever move to the country I'm going to try and set up a raptor sanctuary with my father! Falconry would be something awesome to learn. Spanish is a great language, I wish I knew more of it too...

As much as I rag on it because I'm forced to learn it in my province, I love the French language (French from France, not Quebec French).

MMA is awesome too, I had a friend who was super into it. I've thought about trying some fighting stuff but I'm really a terrible fighter, I have no upper body strength :P

what's the difference between the two "frenches"..pardon my ignorance :)

I really want to learn archery and drawing with pastels. I can draw and sketch but I have never learned to do pastel drawings.

Couple things...

1.) I want to get better at drawing/sketching. I used to sketch quite a bit and my friends would like what I drew, but in my eyes I was never very good. I bought some sketch pads and pencils a few months ago to try to get back into it, but haven't had much time...

2.) Play bass guitar. I took guitar lessons for two summers when I was 9 and 10. I never got very good, but learned some basic chords and stuff. The problem for me playing a 6-string is that my fingers are too big. I can't hit a single string without dampening at least one next to it. I figured I might pick up a bass and try to learn since there aren't as many strings and they're spread farther apart, but I just haven't...

It's not really something a lot of people outside of QC know about, but French from France is a lot more formalized and the way it's pronounced is a lot nicer, whereas Quebec French is a lot more slang-like, and just doesn't sound as nice spoken. It's hard to describe lol. Picture like a well-off, rich family going to visit their relatives that live in a wooden shack in the middle of a bog lol, if you get what I mean?

Archery is really cool! And I wish I could draw. All my friends are good artists and they all make fun of me because I can't draw/paint/anything to save my life :P

Bass is awesome (but I'm biased lol, bass is my instrument). Its different from playing guitar though, it's like a whole different animal. It's like each instrument is a part of anatomy of music. Drums are the backbone that give it a structure, guitar is like the muscles that make it move a certain way, but bass is the spinal cord that is vital to coordinating everything. Sorry lol, music philosophy got me carried away :P
