Lazy as balls? DonâÄôt feel like going anywhere or doing anything for spring break? DonâÄôt feel like doing anything ever? A&E has got you covered with these guides on how to get sort of good at something in 10 days. Learn To Play Harmonica Whether you consider yourself a Sonny Boy Williamson or a Snooky Pryor, blues harp is not something you will be able to master in one spring break. You could, however, give yourself an introduction to the instrument with an intense regimen of daily practice during the vacation. 1. Buy either a Chromatic or Diatonic Harmonica. If you buy a Diatonic one, you must choose a key. 2. Become accustomed to the instrument by voicing each note independently. Play with lip movement and use your tongue; a solid grasp on the harmonica may lead to other oral gifts. 3. Put on a blues or rock âÄònâÄô roll album and attempt to play along. Something along the lines of The Yardbirds, Howlin Wolf or Canned Heat will work well. If you are using a Chromatic, find the key; with a diatonic you have to choose a song that sounds fitting. Learn Esperanto Created by L.L Zamenhof in the late 1800s and long-hated by the Nazis, Esperanto is the most widely spoken of all the constructed languages. It was created from a mélange of different dialects and has long been taught with the idea of uniting the whole world under one mixed tongue. Aside from that, it is proven to render learners smarter, as well as more adept at learning other foreign languages. There are a litany of books and websites on the subject, as well as free instruction via lernu.net. Still skeptical? Here are a few introductory phrases: It is a nice day. Estas bela tago.

Playing to their egos, suggest that you have a sister who is amazing at friendship bracelets. Being naturally competitive, they will immediately want to brag about their own skills by demonstrating them. Observe techniques.
