Free places to keep learning

Your learning doesn't stop here. Here are free places to keep going. The internet is the biggest library in the world, and much of it is free. If you've come this far, you already have the skills to keep learning on your own.

Free places to learn

Khan Academy has free lessons and practice in maths, science and many other subjects. YouTube has tutorials on almost anything, from Excel to sewing. Choose well-known channels with good reviews. Coursera and edX have courses from universities around the world. Many can be watched for free, without the certificate. And Duolingo is a free app for learning languages, a few minutes a day.

Learn well online

Set a small daily goal, like twenty minutes. Take notes. Writing things down helps you remember. Practise what you learn straight away, by doing it yourself. Learn with a friend, and test each other. And check who made a course, to make sure it's from someone you can trust.
