What's something that you always wanted to try/learn but you haven't yet?

[Genie23]

But something you would definitely try/learn before you die. 😐

I've always wanted to learn playing some musical instruments but I ended up learning other things instead. 😐 If I could, I would at least learn how to play piano. How about you? What is it?

I forgot to add playing violin and guitar!

[NamerOfStars]

I've got my CDL, class A, which means if it can legally go on the road, I can drive it- unless it's a motorcycle, I have to keep adding for the sake of thoroughness. I should probably pick that up at some point, just to get my pedantic brain to shut up. It'd also be cool to learn to fly a plane. Chicago DID get the space shuttle simulator, but hadn't opened up public access to it by the time I left, which is a pity. Why? Well...

That's the cockpit of the Columbia (rest in peace, brave ones). If you can look at that picture and not be tempted to learn what every last one of those buttons, switches, and dials does, then, well, I'm not going to say there's something WRONG with you, but you've clearly never been a ten-year-old boy. So yes, I want to know how to fly a space shuttle, and so does everyone who answers this question who's older than me.

It'd also be neat to learn how to play the theremin.

[Sonorous]

I want to learn how to be fully swept into the illusion that life is beautiful

[Genie23]

Awww.. I'd say that life isn't beautiful. It's the kind of people you have in your life that can make it beautiful. 😐

[Sonorous]

Legit tho I be feeling that in gaming lobbies. Sometimes I'll just be completely alone in a game & be like "damn... The people really do make it fun."

[Genie23]

Right kind of people do.

I am annoyed with you for liking a troll's commented on my mum. His comment got removed, of course. But I noticed that you had a good laugh about it.

[Sonorous]

Yeah u lost me what do u be is talkin bout

[Genie23]

I posted some question, this troll attacked my mum. You found it funny, dude

[Genie23]

You don't remember but I do as I don't have mum anymore.

[Sonorous]

oh okay 🤔 maybe it was an accidental like? Cause I got no idea what you're talking about. Makes sense if I was on my phone when it happened because it's always buggin out with this site

[Genie23]

Ah! I see. Cool, lol. No hard feelings. 😐

[Genie23]

So, yeah. Life's ugly, just surround yourself with good people, lol

[Sonorous]

Sorry to hear that happened to your mom tho! 🙏 As much as I don't like mine, I just know her death will crush me 😢

[Genie23]

I didn't mean it in that way. Thank you so much for showing empathy, though 😅

[Sonorous]

ya lost me again, didn't mean what in what way?

[IveGotNoName]

Martial arts and Japanese.

Never learned Japanese (my mother's first language) because I'm simply too bad at learning languages, and I had to focus on the ones being taught in school.

Always wanted to go to martial arts, but was already doing professional dance, so I didn't have time.

I also want to improve on playing the piano, but unfortunately I moved out of my parents' house (they have a piano) and I can't afford a keyboard right now xD.

[CurlyGirl42]

I also wanted to learn an instrument for a long time, which I now did during the pandemic, just the ukulele though but it is still awesome to be able to play lots of songs and sing along <3.. and it did make me want to learn even more! I am with you on learning the piano and guitar, but then I'd switch the violin for the cello <3

[HighValue]

I want to learn to play a keyboard. I like that the settings can be changed to sound like different instruments. I could never afford one when I was younger. I have one now, but I haven't had the time yet to really learn to play it. All I learned was Twinkle Twinkle, Happy Birthday, and the first section of Fur Elise. I stopped trying to learn because I was working full time and going to college taking 15 to 18 units per semester. Probably in a couple years I will go back to trying to learn more though. At least I have it now.
Plus these days it is easier to learn because of YouTube.

[DonkeyDan]

I always wanted to learn to play the saxophone, I did try and found it really difficult. I keep meaning to get my instrument out and give it a good polish and try again, the sax that is..

[Genie23]

I knew you were talking about saxophone but the moment you said "The sax that is.." I was like, Woah. I did not want to imagine that 😂😂😂

[Genie23]

Saxophone sounds so beautiful. I'm sure you will learn it someday and will become really, really good at it!

[ChiTown33]

Playing the guitar. Which isn't entirely true. Because you can actually learn a lot from YouTube videos in this dept. But there's a difference between knowing a couple songs with just 2 chords and actually knowing how to play the guitar.

[Genie23]

I don't know, but I always had a feeling that you love guitar and probably know how to play one. 😅

[ChiTown33]

Must be the profile Pic. Me and friends were watching the band "Suede" play.

[Genie23]

Perhaps! Suede... Niceeeee! 😁

[Randy888]

how to swim🥲 The last time i was in a pool was maybe when i was 10 or something. We only had the pool for like 2 months before we got rid of it. So i never learned to swim.

[Genie23]

Awww! I hope you get to learn how to swim soon as it can be quite useful. That reminds me I need to practice swimming 😐

[Tyrael]

I've always wanted to learn to play the piano too. I'd also like to learn how to shoot guns at a range, even just to see if I enjoy it or not.

[Genie23]

I wanted to learn that, too! The reason is different, though. I grew up playing lot of shooting, aiming games... So, I'd like to see whether I could be as good while holding a real gun, lol

[Tyrael]

Yeah that's part of it for me too lol

[Now_Here]

Martial arts and Arabic (writing, reading and calligraphy).

[Genie23]

Arabic looks so difficult. Good luck with that 😳
If you learnt some martial arts moves, teach me some too. So, I could fight off creeps, dude. 🤣

[jennifer_bloom]

I want to learn to make Spanish food cause I love the taste, would also like to learn to mix my own mock tails at home so I can have the gourmet experience at home and I want to learn to walk in heels but I do not have time for that, I’m relying on weight loss drinks to lose weight cause it’s faster than exercise and gives me time to worry about more relevant things in my life.

[josephinelcajon]

I learned to fly fixed wing airplane but never helicopter. It is on my bucket list.

[Genie23]

I hope you do!

[josephinelcajon]

Thank you I am sure it will!

[exitseven]

I want to learn guitar. I have to get serious about it.

[Genie23]

Accoustic or electric ones?

[exitseven]

aaccoustic.

[HighlyVolatile]

It's probably not the most practical thing (maybe why I haven't bothered) but I want to learn Old Norse.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/NBmftacJytQ

... as well as Old English, Middle English, Latin.

[HighlyVolatile]

[HighlyVolatile]

Headphone warnings in the above vid! I think he got a bit too enthusiastic for some parts. :-D

[JosyJosy]

Piano here too, I don't understand how you can 'find the keys'

[Genie23]

Same here, girly. It's so confusing. 😳 Hope you learn it someday!

[JosyJosy]

Ya I need to find a lifehack for it xD I can find the note I want, but I won't remember where it was once found xD

[kitty71]

I had always wanted to ride a bike, yes at my age I dotn know how to ride a bike. When I was younger for some reason my sister did learn but I did not. I think I was afraid back then and I never overcame the fear and I lost interest of learning..

[Massageman]

Already know piano and organ.
I would do more work on the drums!

[Genie23]

I think you'd be great at it!

[Massageman]

Have to try to keep up with my grandson. He is now first chair in Concert and Senior band, and a helper (guides/helps/covers the mistakes of/etc the Juniors and Cadets) in Junior and Cadet band. Did that in 2.7 years. Touch act to follow.

[skytatoe]

I wanna learn to play the piano. I really love the sound of it

[Genie23]

Accoustic ones or electric ones?

[skytatoe]

I wanna learn on an accoustic one, then once I can play it I can mess around with midi keyboards and stuff too :P

[oliversamuel]

I'm a musical kind of guy (excuse me, I play the viola, NOT the violin), so that gets checked off the list. Running is fun too, but I'm not too sporty otherwise except for basketball. I was a theater kid and in all the school plays. I did my school's free ballet program too (the only boy that signed up 🙄). I love drawing and art as well. I love reading and writing. I guess I never really got into computer stuff and coding.

[oliversamuel]

After reading other people's comments, I realized I also want to learn more languages (I know English and a bit of Spanish).

[llorando]

Always wanted to try and own every Orbison song, but haven't yet.

[Genie23]

Awww!

[llorando]

I'll eventually own every song, already close to the 200 mark.

[TallAnon]

It would be cool to learn how to skateboard, but I probably won't actually try.

[Genie23]

Why?

[TallAnon]

I can't be arsed going outside just to look stupid, lol

[Genie23]

Just imagine everyone wearing nothing but underwear that has Spongebob's face printed on it and you'd no longer feel embarassed and stupid 🤣🤣🤣

Jokes aside, I can understand that feeling, lol

[TallAnon]

Haha, it's not that I'm easily embarrased, but that would be the only effect, so rather not 😁😁

[Xtendable]

Surfing. I can body surf, but have yet to learn on a board

[Genie23]

That's awesome! I hope you learn someday!

[Xtendable]

Thankyou. We must never stop learning

[Jude_Wills]

I want to fly.
I love to learn flying fighter jet

[Jude_Wills]

Before i die..
I wish i can travel to moon or other planet

[Genie23]

Awww

[Jude_Wills]

Mmmm

[DermalPunch]

I've always wanted to be really good at illustration. I've always told myself I can't draw when I'm not actually all that bad. So I've started sketching everyday for just 15-20 minutes and see how that goes.
