It’s “pique your interest.” Not “peak.” Otherwise, there were some interesting links. Thanks!
No, pique is appropriate in this context as well.
verb
1.
stimulate (interest or curiosity).
“you have piqued my curiosity about the man”
#45? Clean without chemicals? Everything is a chemical. Lol. Maybe change to “without synthetic chemicals”? But other than that good list. 🙂
For most of these things to learn you do need supplies, and supplies cost money. But it’s a nice list of things I indeed want to learn some day,
Clearly they mean’t that these were either full courses found on YouTube or courses that you didn’t have to pay for on websites like the majority of courses make you do these days.
[But I’ve got a sneaking suspicion you already knew this..]
I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw. Especially trees.
Learn How to prune a tree is a “Private” video – can’t watch it.
