You're not a believer in learning for fun?! It's really interesting the different viewpoints people have on these things. One of my friends refused to go through a Coursera course that he couldn't get full points for because he joined a couple of weeks late.
- melling 11y agoI'm taking a couple of Udacity courses and I'm trying to learn a little Chinese on Coursera. I'm not looking for points or a certificate. I try to have goals. China, for instance, is on my short list of places to visit, and I'm taking classes to refresh what I can hopefully use for my projects. I learned Go and wrote websites in it: http://thespanishsite.com http://thespanishsite.com http://www.h4labs.com http://www.h4labs.com There's a lot that I'd like to learn but unless you can incorporate it into something where you'll use it, the payoff will be small. There's so little time and so much to learn.

- baby 11y agoI think what he means is: don't just learn for learning, get a project and learn by building it. It's even more fun and you will REALLY learn. His examples about doing a website to learn a language are spot on. If you know you are going to visit a place, why not learn the language before hands, it will motivates you and you will be able to use what you learned eventually.
