IDEA N°1 : Learn a new language 

We all remember some of our spanish, Chinese or whatever language course we had when we where into highschool. But do you really remember it, are you able to speak

that language right now? If you are congratulation, but otherwise don't worry we are almost all on the same page here. This is why during this very particular time that is the lockdown, i propose you to start learning a new language! If you want to make some kind of profit from all of that free time try one of the next solutions.

I have selected for you the top 3 best website or application to learn a new language quickly, easily and for free!!

 

 

1 - Duolingo

Who never did hear about that green howl? Probably one of the biggest language learning platform. It is actually the solution that i have been using for the past months to (Re)learn Spanish! It is an application or a website that will ask you to make 15 to 30 min of learning everyday. you can choose any type of course from listening to speaking. The app let you follow your progress and see where you or your friends are on the learning curve!!

 

 

2- Babel

Babel is a Website really well designed that will help you learning a new language fast! It is the deepest of the three platform, Babel will create for youy a learning path depending on your level, your age, and the reason why you decided to learn that manguage (school, work, personnal reason...) If you have a little bit more time this is the website I would advise you!

 

 

3- Tandem

This is probably the best innovative solution to learn a new language during a pandemic. tandem had the very good idea to creat couple of people to help both of them learn a new language! Let's say you are Irish, and you want to learn Chinese, go on Tandem, and the website will find you a Chinese that is willing to learn english. Then it's all on you, start speaking with that person and let you two learn fromeach others!! the best way to learn a new language and meet new people on your computer for free!

 

 

IDEA N°2 learn how to grow a garden!

 

Depending on if you live in a city or not, if you already have a place to plant around you or not this will be different. But even in the tiniest appartment in a city have some space for some plants! Here I will try to help you achieve to make differents plants grow and regrow, and if possible why not trying to grow your own vegies and condiments!

First of all do you have a yard or not, if you do, you should definitely check the Blog and Website Better Homes & Garden. There is everything you need to know to start your own little garden in your yard.

But if you are like me and don't have the luck to posses a yard, no worries! I will tell and teach you the differents plants you can grow indors and what do they need to live!!

1 - Mint

This is an easy one, but also the first I started with. it is also probably the easiest plant to grow appart from a cactus. You actually just need to put one mint branch in a glass of water, give him some sunlight and keep it warm, especially in winter. And you are all set to start growing and regrowing your own mint. 

 

2 - Lentil

this plant is not as usefull as some condiment, but it is surelly very pleasant to grow. this is still an easy one, you don't have to anything to hard. Take between 5 and 20 lens, some cotton and a small Jar. Put the cotton on the bottom of the jar, add the lense on it and cover it with a thin layer of cotton again. then watter the cotton everyday and watch the magic happening. But be carefull, don't drown your cotton, it sure needs to be wet, but you shouldn't be able to see any water on the bottom of the jar, otherwise the lens are gonna die.
