I use a site called Skillshare. They have different kinds of online courses. I joined the site because it wasn't possible to attend lectures in person. I decided to take some online courses instead. I still prefer to attend lectures at university, but at the moment online courses are okay. Some of their courses about creative writing are pretty interesting, and I also finished other short courses.
Sometimes I receive emails about "recommended courses" (based on the other online courses I have chosen) I received one of those emails today. I thought I would find links to courses about writing, psychology, nursing or art, but they had chosen something different for me.
The headline said: "You will love this course" I couldn't wait to see which interesting course they had chosen for me. I opened the email...and found a Danish course for beginners. Perfect choice. I would love to learn my mother tongue

Sometimes I get a certificate, but not every time. I think it depends on the person who made the course. Some people give us cerficates when we complete their course and others don't.

@Dyvette16 No, not yet. The lastest certificate I received was from a world literature course. It is not work-related, it is just something I am interested in because I like to write in my free time

Some of the courses are free, but you need a subscription to watch the rest of them. I like the site a lot. It is possible to learn many different things.

I already speak Danish, but I am going to have a look anyway. I don't need the course myself, but I might recommend it to some of my friends who are immigrants.

Yes, I don't need to learn my own language I used to attend lectures at the local university, but it hasn't been possible last year or this year, so I decided to join some online courses instead. That way I am still able to learn something new

@Porcospino That's a really good idea - and would fill in the time too when you can't leave the house.

Skillshare is an awesome website. I'm still waiting for a perfect time to get started with all those courses I signed up for. There are free sections there like graphics art, anything and everything is there. Danish course seems interesting. I hope you enjoy it.

Yes, it is a great site. I completed some of their courses, and most of them were great. There are so many different courses and it is easy to find something I am interested in.
