I taught myself, but I'm not very good. I'd love to go to a class. I started to make a scarf for LO and screwed up the measurements - doh! </p> <p>Piano is the other one. My brother got my SIL lessons for one of her birthdays and then a keyboard for Christmas, and she's stuck with it now for 2 years now that her kids are older. She's getting pretty good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-secretly-wish-you-could-take-lessons-for#post-2612708 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 12:40:21 +0000 yin 2612708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Thanks! I may sign up for an adult swimming beginner's class this fall. Makes me nervous just thinking about it. The last time I took a class was when I was 12, and it was full of 3/4 year olds who were all much better than I was at the time. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-secretly-wish-you-could-take-lessons-for#post-2612700 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 12:37:09 +0000 sunny 2612700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: I have 2 friends who learned as adults! I just talked to one of them on the weekend. He said it just took some practice with going in the water to get comfortable, then learning the basic strokes and practicing. </p> <p>Easier said than done now that you have kids, but from what it sounded like, it wasn't too difficult to get the basics if you have the time to devote to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-secretly-wish-you-could-take-lessons-for#post-2612630 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 11:23:48 +0000 PawPrints 2612630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted to learn how to go over jumps on a horse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-secretly-wish-you-could-take-lessons-for#post-2612552 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 10:11:23 +0000 Mama Bird 2612552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Piano! It's not really a secret, I keep asking my parents to get rid of some broken shelving they don't need and put a piano in its place, but no luck yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-secretly-wish-you-could-take-lessons-for#post-2612509 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 09:23:30 +0000 yin 2612509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swimming... I'm almost 30 and have no clue how to swim.

Piano just because (I grew up playing violin but always wanted to learn piano) and swimming so I can feel more comfortable in pools and the ocean. I never took formal swim lessons as a kid so I'm not efficient at swimming.</p> <p>ETA: Ironically, LO at age 2 is already taking piano and will be starting swimming lessons in 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-secretly-wish-you-could-take-lessons-for#post-2612221 Sun, 28 Aug 2016 12:31:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2612221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would actually like to continue with piano and violin lessons since I haven't really played much since high school.<br /> I also always wanted to learn guitar.<br /> I've considered doing an online Spanish for medical professionals course, so that's in the back of my mind for the future.<br /> Oh and swimming, I want to learn better stroke development and endurance with swimming. I only know super simple basics and never continued swimming lessons past age 10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-secretly-wish-you-could-take-lessons-for#post-2612213 Sun, 28 Aug 2016 11:59:44 +0000 Cherrybee 2612213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same!

I am a pretty good singer and I've always loved it, but I have always wanted to take it to the next level!</p> <p>Number 2 would be piano because I think I would be much more committed as an adult. </p> <p>What about you? </p>
