Whether studying online courses without any cost from YouTube or an application like "Duolingo" will undoubtedly help you a lot.

 

Most importantly, skills and knowledge can be developed altogether. Thus, don't worry about how we are weak. We should do as best as we can to enhance and improve one's knowledge and skills.
