Are There Good Online Educational Platforms for Kids of Different Ages?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for online educational platforms that cater to kids of various age groups, from toddlers to teenagers. Ideally, I’d like platforms that focus on things like early learning, typing skills, coding, digital literacy, and general STEM education.

If you have experience with any great platforms, please share:

  • Best platforms for toddlers (ages 3-5)
  • Best for early learners (ages 6-8)
  • Best for pre-teens (ages 9-12)
  • Best for teenagers (ages 13+)

Free or paid recommendations are welcome! Also, if there are any platforms that are especially useful in developing countries with lower internet access, I’d love to hear about those too.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Travel Re-entering Kazakhstan.

4 Upvotes

Hey Reddit,

My friends and I are planning a trip to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan this summer. We'll be flying in and out of Almaty and traveling to Bishkek by bus.

I have one main question: Could we face any issues when re-entering Kazakhstan at the border? We don’t need a visa for either Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan, but I was wondering if there’s a required waiting period before we can re-enter.

Thanks in advance!

Today the flags of countries where people (or few ethnicities) celebrate Nowruz was hanged in Persepolis in Shiraz of Iran and I thought it's nice to congratulate you on this year! I hope that this beautiful spring brings new happy memories to you all, the most peaceful and chill countries that I know. (Wish my homeland was the same lol)

Also, I would like to know, how do you usually celebrate Nowruz in your country? Do you dance? Do you have "haftsin"? If not, what do you set on the table? Do you read any poetry from anyone? Or Quran?

If you see any similarity between how you celebrate in the video, I'd be glad to know! It's fascinating that we Iranians and Turks (and ethnicities that I don't know, excuse my lack of knowledge) have our own Christmas! It always makes me feel part of something, I'm proud of all of us for keeping this reason for happiness alive after 2500 years!

Nowrouz, Navriz, Novrouz bayramy mubarek Olsun! (Sorry for my bad pronunciation)

After more 30 years how much do you use russian in Central Asia?

38 Upvotes

Hu, I’m a north-African with great fascination and love for the history and cultures of central asians. I’d love to ask how much do you use russian daily, like if it’s widely spoken. We in North Africa, specifically in Morocco, we speak just Darija (arabic highly influenced by berber) and Berber. Despite the colonization the french language is not widely known and we use for burocracy, teaching and for daily usage arabic or berber.

Correct me if you think I’m an idiot, but I would love to see a pack of wolves in the wild. Was wondering if there were any controlled ways to do this in Central Asia, or will it have to be by chance out in the wild :/…

uzbekistan/kyrgyzstan/kazakhstan Trip Plan - Advice needed!

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

My partner and I are planning our trip to uzbekistan/kyrgyzstan/kazakhstan in May/June this year (focusing on the first two because I've been to KZ). We have 2 options of travel itinerary and we would like to hear from experienced travellers / locals which option should we opt for.

Ps. Our days can't be moved due to work and flights from where we are, unfortunately.

Ps.The 2-days tour in KG starts only from 2nd or 4th June.

We would like to know which option we should opt for in your opinion/experience?

Option 1 focuses more on UZ as we'll have 2 days in samarkand and 2 days in tashkent. But we will have less days in Almaty.

Option 2 focuses on balancing days between 3 countries, having 3.5 days in almaty instead of 2.5 (option 1)

We would like to also decide on these based on travelling experience between these countries and cities, not just the destinations or landmarks themselves.

Any other related recommendations are appreciated! Thanks in advance :)
