Hello, everyone!

I'm Mee, a belly dance instructor from Malaysia. I join Udemy to share my dance courses online and hope to reach out to wider audience around the globe. 

Even though, I've read the regulations but, I feel I'm still at loss on some issues related to the platform thus, I'm here in hope to get advises and help to ensure that I don't violate any rules at Udemy. 😅

I'm usually very shy and is very conservative on the way I dress. But, I'm a totally different person when I dance. My family and friends were shocked to learn that I belly dance and is actively teaching and sharing the dance! I'm surprised myself too. LOL  😂🤣

[erickottke]

what could you do to make it easier to feel like you do when you dance even when you are not dancing?

I look forward to thriving in this community and learning in many ways! One fun fact about me is that I am addicted to all things self-improvement. I love to see what areas I can improve within myself and how I can one day master stillness within (not the funnest to others, but definitely to me! lol). 

Nice to meet everyone, and I look forward to supporting this community!

[SmithaJagadish]

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all doing well and having a beautiful day!

I am Smitha Jagadish from India but currently live in the UK.

I am a spiritual coach and have been into spirituality for a very long time but never really thought of teaching this to others until one day, I came across  Udemy website. This platform really excited me to create courses and find a way to help and teach my discoveries in spirituality. I am thoroughly enjoying it. 

Apart from being a spiritual coach I love cooking, walking in nature and discovering life.

Thank you for listening ...Lots of love to you all . 

Smitha 

[MarinaT]

Hi @SmithaJagadish, 

Welcome to our community! We are very happy to have you here. 

Spirituality? How interesting! What type of spirituality are you teaching? 

We wish you a lot of fun and success on your teaching journey, and please let us know if you need help 😊.  

[Baishalyyy]

• Who am I? Hello everyone! My name is Baishali Sarkar and I am a World Music Singer - Teacher. So great to be here in the Udemy Instructor Community!

• Where am I from? I am originally from India, but I have been living in Portugal, Poland, Spain and Slovenia. So, I consider myself as a World citizen now. 
• What is my teaching area? I just created my first Online Singing Course on learning Indian Songs (will be publishing next week 15.06.23) and many others are lined up next. As I sing in around 30 languages, I have plan to create mini courses to cover different genres of Music that aren't available in Udemy yet. 
• Why did I join the Instructor Community? 1. I think Udemy is an excellent platform which gives me the opportunity to find and help people find their voice through singing. This community helps instructors to upgrade themselves as eductaors. 2. I'd love to know other instructors, their courses, experiences, get help from them and to help them !
• Tell us a fun fact about yourself!  I got Erasmus scholarship for Master in Management (in Portugal) in 2010 for 6  months. And I bluffed my parents saying I got a full 3 year PhD scholarship in Linguistics because they didn't agree to let me go for the 2nd Master program abroad only for 6 months. Little did I know that my destiny had another plan and I started living in Europe since 2010. Definitely, my parents somehow forgave me after few years. Life is beautiful when I am in charge of it!

[LucioPozone179]

Salve, mi chiamo Lucio Pozone, sono italiano (nato a Napoli) e vivo in provincia di L'Aquila (regione Abruzzo).

Sono un musicista e sto per pubblicare il mio primo video corso di chitarra flamenco su Udemy.

Sono entrato nella Community perché avrò sicuramente bisogno del vostro aiuto... con la chitarra mi sento a mio agio, ma con il pc un po' meno! 😄

Un fatto divertente su di me? I miei video sono già registrati da tempo e non conoscevo Udemy... ho perso tante energie per pubblicizzare il mio corso, mentre esisteva già un'ottima soluzione a portata di mano.

Grazie a tutti 🙂

[LyraStarMist]

Hi there!

My name is Lyra Star Mist

• I am a traveler and have lived many places in the United States.  Not really sure if I am from any specific place.
• I teach many subjects and have had a YouTube channel for many years.  I focus on Quantum Life Skills, Reiki healing, resiliency & emergency preparedness, legal aid and how to use specific apps for personal to professional applications.
• Something fun about you! I like to inspire and empower others through fun games, activities, Missions and Quests.  I have developed several games and help host events.  I am also a multimedia artist and have studied many different forms of art over the years.

I love to learn and share knowledge with others, hike, and spend time in nature.  I have written several children's stories, a manual and articles on different subjects.  My current project is to write a book on how to raise your pet for extended life.  My service dog is 12 years old and still acts like he is 8.

May the fun begin.

[RaquelCoelho]

Hi Lyra Star Mist!

Fun story! I feel the same about not being sure where I "am from". The more time goes by, the more I feel that belonging has more to do with what's inside than the geography. 

Looking forward to learning and teaching with you!

[新居優空 (Arai Yura)]

Nice to meet you all. My name is Yura Arai.

I have been working as a mechanical engineer in Japan for 20 years.

I am working to stop the decrease in the working population due to Japan's declining birthrate and aging population. I would like to teach the skills needed to work in Japan (manners, Japanese language, communication, business skills, Excel, manufacturing, etc.) from the viewpoint of an active engineer so that people will be attracted to Japan and want to work in Japan.

I am new to creating courses, so I joined the community to improve my skills in creating courses while communicating with you all.

I am familiar with acoustics, having played drums, guitar, bass, piano, and singing when I was younger, and I am happy to be able to use my strengths as a microphone setter on Udemy!

[RaquelCoelho]

Hi 新居優空 !

Welcome!

I hope you find this space helpful. Your experience sounds exciting, so it'll be great to get your lessons out into the world.

Raquel

[RonErez]

Nice.

Just out of curiosity could a person work as a developer/programmer in Japan without knowing Japanese? I mean would English be enough?

Of course learning Japanese sounds nice, just might take some time.

Good luck. Your course topics sound interesting.

[新居優空 (Arai Yura)]

Hello. @RonErez 

I am glad of your curiosity.

Japanese is not always necessary to work in Japan. There are many developers and programmers in my office who do not speak any Japanese.

However, looking at the companies I have worked for, there are still very few Japanese who can speak English. Naturally, Japanese people who can speak English communicate with engineers from abroad, but if that Japanese person takes a day off or goes on a business trip, it makes it difficult for work to proceed smoothly.

It is better to be able to speak Japanese, even if it is not perfect.

We are simply very happy when we can talk in Japanese with our colleagues at work.

[MaryMaryam]

Self Introduction is the most interesting thing to do...

[RossGeldart1980]

Hi folks!

My names Ross and Im fro a place called Elgin in the North of Scotland.

I mainly teach techniques in Ableton live from beginner to advanced focusing on more creative ways to use the tools rather than the traditional style.

I joined the instructor community to connect and speak with like minded people who are on a mission to share their knowledge and help others climb the life ladder.

Fun fact - I love hillwalking in the Highlands with my Dog. Its a great way to reset the creative mind just being in nature and discovering whats on your doorstep. I also like kickboxing and go to the gym 4/5 times a week.

All the best
