How to put a ul inside a ul for a small sublist.

This is my code, but the html validation is saying the ul can't be the child of the ul element and it's throwing an error. Any ideas how to fix this?

    <main class="flex">
      <div class="card">
        <h2>Experience</h2>
        <ul>
          <li>ARISE Certified</li>
          <li>Bible Worker for eight months</li>
          <li>Forgien Missionary to the Island of Palawan</li>
            <ul>
              <li>Lived in the mountains</li>
              <li>Learned thier language</li>
              <li>Learned how to problem solve when things went wrong (ex: no water) </li>
            </ul>
          <li>HTML coding for two months</li>
          <li>CSS coding for one month</li>

        </ul>
      </div>

Your ul tag needs to be a child of the li tag like this:

<ul>
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>
    <ul>
      <li>Child item 1</li>
      <li>Child item 2</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

I don't think you have a closing </ul> tag for your first one
