Things I've Never Learned To Do

Me too - though I have tried and failed at many.

Ha haa same here they are so many

Yes, I could fill a book like that.

Knowing how to draw is great.

Oooh my i would love to know how to draw

Duolingo is an app and a website. I am a retired foreign language teacher (French and German). I highly recommend this product. It is free, fun and effective! Bonne chance (good luck).

I know - there are some body parts that won't cooperate. I would have loved to learn to play piano too.

@LadyDuck It is much more restful to take public transport than to take the wheel of a car and drive through busy traffic. You are lucky not to have to do this.

I learned late enough in life to be fearful of the cost when I was told it would take as many lessons as years I had lived. I loved to cycle and could not see the need to drive but my husband pretty well forced me into it. Now I live in Greece I am grateful because cycling is out (hills and drivers with ill intent) and the public transport system is nowhere near my house.

@41CombedaleRoad We have a good public transport here in Switzerland, I do not know if I would like to learn to drive. It's also very expensive.

I learned them playing games on Sporcle. I still mix up the capitals of Kazakhstan and all the other "stans" but I'm getting better.

@suziecat7 Waoh that is impressive

I would love to sing like an angel but unfortunately some things just can't be learned with the best will in the world! I am full of admiration that you learned Greek because I have not even managed to learn how to cope with the resulting feeling of failure in this respect.

I have learned many useless things myself.

You learned a lot of things - - but those things are useless?! Do you mean because you don't make money from doing those things, that is why they are useless?

Me too - I gave up leaning to drive a stick years ago especially with the hills around here.

@41CombedaleRoad - I never learned but in these mountains it's all I can do to drive an automatic shift.

@suziecat7 I learned on a car with a gear stick and it became automatic after a while. Now I am older I drive an automatic because it is easier and I don't have to think about my speed or changing gears anymore.

There's a man here in the Asheville area who is a welding whisperer. His art is so unique and beautiful.

Good idea - I just usually buy a jar :((

Yes, that is always my plan B for gravy.

I can't sing but I do anyway. Book learning is best for me too.

@suziecat7 LOL . . same here. I can carry a tune today. Then the next day the tune gets heavy and I could not carry, so I go out of tune!

I never learned to do a cartwheel either. Too late for both of us in that endeavor.

@suziecat7 I have always done them in my head. Not as much fun, but safer.

I could see where it would be vehicle abuse.

@suziecat7 Yeah, if you start out letting off the clutch too fast with too little gas you will kill the engine. You start out letting off the clutch too fast with too much gas you will burn rubber. But you more than likely you won't burn rubber very far because you're first reaction will be to let off the gas as soon as it moves which in most cases will case the vehicle to die. If it doesn't die you will most likely step on the gas again and start causing the vehicle to do the jerk as you push on the gas then let off several times. Once you get the vehicle moving and go to shift, if you don't time everything just right you'll grind the gears making that awful noise that sounds like you ripping the transmission apart. If you don't give it the proper amount of gas it will die. But once you get coordinated they you can do it gracefully–even in your sleep.

French was my first language and I didn't speak English until I was about 9 or 10 years old. Now though I can still understand it, I struggle to speak it.

We need to visit with &crazyhorseladycx - she could give us a hands-on lesson.

@paigea - For me too :))

@suziecat7 I hopefully could learn in someone showed me in RL. There is doubt though.

This is true though I do like learning new things.

Yes, we never stop learning, do we?
