Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you basics of the languages I know. Also, since I'm a retired scout I can make some nice knots.
Grasped the 24-step tai chi, but never taught it to anyone - yet!
Last but not least, I do possess some guitar and tennis skills, but don't expect pro level hints ;)

I really enjoy learning script types. If you know Mongol, Mayan or the Runes, feel welcomed with almost no limits. ;)
