Can You Show Me How To Do That (v1.128)

So you want to learn how to do something, if it be dance, bake bread, fix a car, start a 'zine, become a hit man, start a cult, make knives, start a business, make a CD of your music... Whatever it is, there are all kinds of ways to learn more about any topic. We, as unschoolers, have a vast number of resources that we have used. But say that Bob over there wants to learn more about what you are into. Wouldn't you love to find out how he learned? What kind of people he talked to, what books were read, web pages that had good info, mentors, work shops you went to, places that have work shops that you liked. Whatever it was that gave you the information, that it took to get you started in what you are now passionate at. Let us know! Reply

Breeeetel! 2 seconds ago I got done updating my list, and then I read yours..ah haa. ;P So; I would love to learn a little Hebrew sometime~~of course, I am Christian...is that a conflict of interest?? Learn how to make cheap lipstick (not that I am a big cosmetic user, but I am fascinated with the science of makeup application and like having them around), too. And I would be really happy to swap science info or knowledge bases with you. I know some (scientific) stuff and I'd love learning some other stuff...somehow it never occured to me until now that I might learn some in an unschooler, casual happy swappng sort of way— I've been so focused on having to take classes at a college if I wanted to get more knowlege of the sciences (simple fact that I do not come from a sciene-heavy family...grammar, english, or social issues are absolutely no threat to me, however :) ). -the lovely Rachel H. , 01-31-04

Breetel! A great way to learn to bellydance if there are no other bellydancers in your area is through instructional videos. Some of them really really suck, but there are plenty of great ones out there. I was lucky enough to find lots of bellydancers in my area and haven't really used videos much, but if you're interested, I could help you find a good one. there is no substitue for learning from other dancers, but you could get a good start on the basics. I also have a fairly large collection of music, so I can copy some and send it to you if you want. Do you prefer really earthy instrumental tribal-y stuff, or lighter floaty elegant cabaret music? I have both, and a few compilation CD's from past shows that have a lot of variety. Let me know if you are interested <MellowshipSlink at csdotcom>. Have fun! Love, James

There aren't too many cafes where I live, but I always fantasize about spending time in one—you know, so I can go to the counter and say I'll have the regular— and meeting really eccentric and and interesting people. I'd also like to know about staying tear-less during arguments—it always bugs me when I break down as I'm trying to prove a point.—Anna F.
