How do I utilize the lockdown period to enhance my skills

The Corona pandemic has taken over, and people are forced to stay home as per the lockdown rules. In this crucial time where you feel trapped and disturbed, you can engage yourself in learning or enhancing new skills and keep your mind busy instead.

What can I do in this lockdown?

Well, the list is too long, but I've come up with the five most exciting ideas for you to try out this lockdown period. 

1. Cooking 

Cooking is something that, if you learn, you'll be benefitted. It may seem a tough work to do, but I'd have a great source of learning. It becomes much more comfortable. I've mentioned some YouTubers who post videos on how to cook recipes that you definitely might have thought of making at a certain point in time.

2. Learn a new language

Many YouTube channels provide online language learning for free. But a useful and fantastic app is Duolingo. 

This app provides a wide range of languages to choose from, like Spanish, French, Dutch, English, and many more.

You have to download the app for free and register without paying anything. You can learn multiple languages at a time. You've to crack different levels, and eventually, you learn the language. You can even challenge your friends to learn with you and match your scores to see who does better. The app has a charming layout and appearance, which makes it much more enjoyable to use and maintains the interest of learning.
