nothing terribly concrete and specific; red flags that the author (you) might be approaching it out of a panicky midlife crisis desire to achieve something, anything, to fill a hole in their soul or a desire that people would respect them more if they had more skills and achievements. X is something therefore achieve X as a checklist item to attain, even if without any particular interest in X. That the author might want to reflect on why they're looking for the best course instead of putting pencil to paper or being halfway through any course already.
The distinction between "I want to learn the basics of conversational Spanish for my holiday this summer" compared to "if I could learn another language people would like me, Spanish is supposed to be easy".
The distinction between "I want to learn to fly a helicopter and need a course which won't kill me" and "I want to learn to cook, I have a kitchen and spare food and money, and it's been years and hopefully what I need is out there somewhere I can watch or research instead of in a messy pile of ingredients in the kitchen right here".
> "Currently going through the free drawabox.com lessons and that seems to have all the exercises and videos I need to get going."
That is good. Nowhere do I mean to say "don't do it"; only to reflect that from the outside your description feels like you aren't really interested, not to tell you that you aren't or shouldn't be interested. Good luck! :)
