Hebrew

Alexander Kandiloros has previously spoken about being tongue-tied in front of Regina Spektor, couch surfing and all the jeans that litter his house. Now for something completely different:

One of the things I like best is learning new things. Pattern recognition. Being able to keep up with conversations with very different people. There are those who know everything there is to know about a single subject, but as for myself, I've never been able to choose one area. I want to know everything! About everything! Which at best leads to me to know a little about a lot.

Introduction to Greek mythology, Biology of philosophers, argumentation analysis for beginners, Aesthetic History of Ideas, and Modern Hebrew are examples of evening courses taught at the University of Gothenburg. One evening a week; we can all fit that into our schedules. We will never be fully taught, we will never be finished. The brain is a muscle that needs to be exercised to become big and strong.

But you don’t even need to apply for a course to go to a lecture. All lectures are public - and free, and with one phone call or by Googling, you can find out where those interesting lectures are taking place. Get what an amazing country we live in!

At ABF, you can learn to bind books, paint with watercolors, cook, or why not accounting? There simply is something for everyone. Their courses often cost a bit but not much really. There are skills to develop and nurture, and there is money to be saved by repairing our own clothes, books and furniture, people to impress people by knowing a little about a lot.
