My aunt has been taking Italina classes for a couple of years, and a few months ago we started to have group lessons among the family every thursday, where she teaches introductory Italian based on her classes curriculum.
It's going pretty well, especially because we make a commitment together, but have no preassure in "doing well". Also it's a nice way to regularly keep in touch
If you have a skill to share and time to spare teach your friends and family! learning in group and for free is the best of both worlds.

Doing the same exercises at the same level at the same time and place with people who are interested in the same thing as you is like, one of life’s cheat codes after school (whether it’s compulsory or collegiate) especially if you’re in a new city and don’t have an existing support network / friend group (added benefit is keeping your mind active and learning and getting better at new skills 😎)
I’ve taken filmmaking, comedy writing, and DJing classes and after each one I’ve picked up at least one new friend I could hit up for a coffee, dinner, or in the best case, to collaborate on a project I’m excited about but am struggling to find the motivation to get started on.

Invite your friends together to share knowledge! Teach each other how to sew, forage, fight, draw, dance! Help each other learn a new recipe! Teach each other basic phrases in a new language! Show each other how to fix a sink or a flat tire!
We have the power to ensure that everyone has the skills to survive the years to come. It’s our responsibility to share the knowledge we hold.

I like going to my little classes. Learning never stops, and also you don’t have to try to learn a new skill alone ! rejoice !

One of the things I like the most about Pi.fyi and the current scale of users is that it's still noticeable when a rec was inspired by another.
Sometimes the rec directly mentions the other, but other times you can kinda assume that reading an especific thing here triggered a memory or an ideia.
It's very cute and interesting to notice the small influences interacting with other humans online can have.
