We asked our KPRC 2 audience what unique ways they’re using to get through quarantine and got back some unique pastime suggestions.
Here’s how some Houstonians are entertaining themselves during self-isolation:
Crafts:
Many are passing time with creative projects. One viewer shared a picture with us of a Texas A&M stained glass window she is building.
Another viewer shared a picture with us of the jewelry she made.
Learning:
Some are investing their time in learning a new language online. Duolingo and YouTube are two free resources that offer language-learning tools.
Duolingo offers lessons in 35 languages for English-speakers to learn.
One KPRC viewer recommended the YouTube channel “French with Vincent." We checked it out and discovered this YouTuber has created a series of videos titled “Learn French While We All Are On Quarantine.”
Entertainment:
Many stuck at home are discovering entertainment through social media.
Over the week, more celebrities have utilized their platforms to connect with the outside world during self-isolation.
Many musicians went live on Instagram to perform virtual concerts as a part of the Together At Home campaign launched by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization.
Artists who have taken part in the virtual mini-concert series include John Legend, Niall Horan, OneRepublic, and Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
