Looking for some kind of free (or super cheap) learning course or project I can do on my phone, to keep me off social media when I'm bored whilst DD is playing. I'm already doing Duolingo but I want to mix it up a bit, when I need a break from it.
All suggestions welcome.

The Open University do a range of free short courses.

It depends on if you want accredited. I do free courses with vision2learn.

Not so worried about accredited or not.

Sorry I didn't make my post clear enough. I meant courses I can just do on my phone without needing to get pen and paper out or find other resources. Similar to Duolingo where all the work is done online and it lets you know your progress. Something I can just sit at a bus stop and do with twenty minutes free here and there.

Try future learn. Free, on line, range of topics, pay for cert if you want.

Or there’s a great BSL app you can do on your phone (bright bsl). It was recommended on here.

I also quite like the BBC GCSE bitesize app. I just do the quizzes.

Contact your local college- many do free online courses.

Ooh BSL sounds enjoyable...

The open University puts all their old courses on this site & you get a completion certificate at the end.

It is. Depending on your dd age you could teach her some too.

The app charts your progress.
