As the title implies, what can you do that you've taught yourself. Did you learn to speak a language? Play an instrument? Ride a bike? Brew your own beer? I talking about major skills like that. Something like simply rollerblading or riding a skate board (without tricks) is something everyone can do.

I've tried teaching myself to play the piano and to learn Japanese, but I never got very far. If anything, I'd say I taught myself how to do front and back flips.

Tons of stuff. Piano (sort of), gaming, typing 80 wpm (not the correct way, though :C), making sandwiches and cereal, and lots of other things.

I taught myself how to draw, and I turned out to be a good artist I think. I taught myself to play music on any object. I taught myself what this world really is., and I taught myself how not to cry.

I've attempted teaching myself Japanese. I even downloaded an app for it. I didn't get very far, I lasted about a week before I gave up trying.

I taught myself how to cook, as well as how to run a 5 minute mile.

Not really big accomplishments, but this kind of confuses me, so I wouldn't begin to know what qualifies.

I've taught myself to draw, to cook certain meals that are easy, I learned that shift + enter helps to continue writing on a different line while avoiding sites that have that feature to submit your comment at pressing enter.

I taught myself to draw (unless you count using guides made by other artists). I've attempted to teach myself Spanish, but I didn't get very far.

I suppose I taught myself how to draw over the year's. I never took any classes or anything. It's just something that I love to do and practiced on my own.

Here is what I practise, some I am competent at, others- still learning :
Playing the guitar or piano, drawing, riding a bike, cooking, French language, and database hacking. Just kidding on the last one. Really.

I was amazed that less then a year ago I never actually played a musical instrument or drawn, and my hand-writing sucked.
But the more I tried, and stuck with it, the better I got. Simples!

I'm so happy with the progress I've made, and theres allot more to try.

Let's see, what have I taught myself? It's probably not like super impressive or anything, but I've taught myself to type about 150+ word per minute. Uhm, I've taught myself to do video and photo graphics. I've also taught myself photography. I also know a little Italian. That's about it.
