I would really like to learn how to swim. I'm in my mid-20's and I still don't know how to survive in deep water. Yes, I know all of us are supposed to learn how to do this as children. I just didn't have the time because video games were more important for me back then. How about you fellow mylotters? What skill would you like to learn provided you have the time and money to learn them?

I know how to ride a bike. Teach me how to swim, I'll teach you how to ride. :) Same situation here when it comes to piano lessons. I would also like to learn how to play the guitar. I can sing though, but I would gladly trade some of my singing ability just to have decent guitar playing skills.

Hello Inkyoboz, nice to meet you. Well there is a log long bucket list of all the things that I would like to learn if I got some spare time. Right now I would definitely like to have some time focused on learning sewing, crochet and knitting. I will also love to learn motivational strategies, utilizing the power of mind and also learn more about my religion. I will also like to get a degree in Education. I hope I get some time to complete my checklist. I hope you get some time to complete yours too.

I want to learn how to make a website and develop one. I want to learn how to be a computer programmer. In our place this is one of the expensive courses to learn. Even if you have the money but you don't have the talent and skill to do, it's all useless. I am interested to learn thsse things because this will me in return. Knowing nowadays, working at the comfort of your home has an increasing demand. So this will give me monetary rewards in return. So, I better learn this. Other things will follow with proper prioritizing of time and money, everything can be learn.

I would love to be able to learn computer programming and HTML. I think I have some good ideas to create a website but I just don't have the skills. I've recently learned how to create a widget and I still have to double check that I haven't forgotten anything. I'm about twice your age so they didn't have all of this in school when I attended. I think Web Design is so interesting but wouldn't know where to start.

Hi there inkyuboz! If I had spare time and money, I would like to learn other languages. I travel a lot and I think that it would be very beneficial for me to learn other languages. I would like to learn Korean, French and Arabic Language. I would also like to enhance my knowledge in languages like Thai, Japanese/Nihongo, Mandarin, and Spanish.

I think I'd like to be a Certified Financial Planner. I like the feeling of knowing a lot of things about finances, most especially taking care of my personal finance for a change instead of just following what books, tv personnel, and finance gurus says. I'd like to understand and apply the concepts at the same time, I'd like to share it with people as well. But whew, it costs a lot of money and money is not something that I have freely.

I would also wish to learn how to swim in deep water. I know how to float but I panic when I know my feet cant touch the floor if worse comes to worst. I would also love to learn how to cook. I do love to eat so it would be fun to make what I eat. It would make me appreciate the process of making the food that I eat, which would make me relish what Im eating more than average. Aside from those two, I would also love to learn and master at least 2 musical instruments. I have my eyes on violin and piano. I did start on the piano when I was a kid but I wasnt able to continue with it.

How to Be a Chef. I love cooking and has taken a course that somehow touch on this but sadly the course is not sufficient to make me into a chef. I am intrigue by how food is made into a more higher form of art. It is quite expensive to take a full course, with the final exams that entails one to serve the food in a fine dining set up complete with all the trimmings it is quite an expensive hobby.

I'd like to learn how to dance I've always wanted to learn how to dance but I just don't have it (the talent hehehehe). I also wanted to learn how to draw and be an animator to draw wonderful things in this world. There's just a lot of thing s to do when you have money and time so if you have both the money and time please use them properly. Their are a lot of people who wish they have what you have.....remember you can't have it forever..................

I would like to get a degree in Literature. English, writing and so forth are my interests. The time and money is what I need. I really have the time since I am retired but not the money. I could probably do it online too. Just finding the type of thing I am looking for is difficult.
