A very cool (or maybe geeky) distracting *and* useful activity: DuoLingo, a free app where you can learn a new language of your choice and set up how many minutes per day you want to practice. It teaches you words, gives you little quizzes, and it also teaches pronounciation and lets you practice your own (by voice recording) and tells you how you did!

I'm going to learn some basic Spanish, it seems to be very useful in this country.
