You should master the use of English first .

I know tongue in cheek, but Shag does really well considering English isn't his first language.

Just be alert!, sorry aware that subjects may have outdated data.

I was using a course on obesity for revision. As a tool it served it's purpose but it was composed 16 years ago.

I would say just use the academic courses as an insight.

Languages, Duolingo and Memrise, lots of material on Youtube.

Podcasts, LSHTM Viral (on Covid), This Week in Virology and its sibling podcasts (on medical science)

ABC (Australia) Radio National Conversations is a fascinating conversation with someone every weekday.

Educational blogs, Science Based Medicine, the blog of This Week in Virology, The Law and Policy Blog... I could probably recommend a whole lot more, I'm such a nerd.

When I went on furlough I had the bright idea of doing a course to keep my mind ticking over and learn something to benefit business.

I never have time under normal circumstances so thought it would be ideal.

But then I ended up volunteering so the Just 40 hour course took longer than I wanted as it was a case of an hour here and 30 minutes there and I didn't realise there was an actual exam at the end (long time since I left school) !

Just finished it and needed 80% to pass and Phew ! Just managed 87% (wish I'd got higher but it's a pass)

Worth doing and you don't realise how your mind gets used to not taking learning in and remembering it !

Good luck to anyone doing a course, if it's a first since schooldays just stick with it as it does get easier as your mind warms up
