Always give it a try

To fail is to learn.

These wise words come from someone who knows how ‘failure’ tastes first-hand. The former US track and field athlete was a crowd favourite at the 2008 Olympic Games for the 400 metres - instead, she came third.

But, instead of losing hope, she kept her head held high and, by the 2012 Olympic Games, she was ready for gold. And she got it.

It is time we stop thinking of failures as the end destination or a shameful blot on our journey to success - if anything, to fail makes us wiser. It’s part of our learning process and, as such, failures are not here to punish us, but to help us become better at what we do.

Duolingo is perfect for children who want to learn languages, young adults who want to certify their English or adults who want to discover the pleasures of a new language. Through the gamification function you’ll be having fun and building on essential skills. You can choose one of 40 languages to learn. Haven fun!! 🎮📚

Education is powerful

Education = Power 💪

Good teaching should do more than impart knowledge, it should inspire change.

Today is , an annual international day in honour of Nelson Mandela. The late South Africa president was a stern champion of education as a catalyst for change.

At FutureLearn, we’ve seen the power social learning has to instigate this change. When you join a one of our courses, you join a diverse global community that creates space for you to have your say.

Our social learning platform is designed to connect learners from all over the world to join the conversation. We invite you to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with like-minded diversity champions and experts in the course comments.

We’re proud to offer an array of online courses designed to educate, inform, and start vital conversations in a global learning community.

So, tell us, where are you learning from? 🌍
