Have you learned a skill from the locals, when you were travelling? If so, what did you learn.

I learned Spanish in an Indian village in Guatamala. The Indians had started 2 schools so they could earn some money by teaching Spanish to foreigners.

These same Indians also gave lessons in cloth weaving. Some travellers there took lessons in this but I didnt.

I also noticed that some countries in Asia now give cooking classes. I didnt take lessons in that either, because I can already cook a lot of Asian food quite well.
