Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you (gutter british) english, (rather unpatriotic) french, (wonky grammatic) german, palm-reading, colour-coding, celtic harp, drinking games, I can cut your hair, interpret your dreams, flatsit, catsit, plantsit, babysit, give you relational advice, read you poetry, give you bad habits, all this to a certain extent, it goes without saying. Tempted?
I'd like to learn sign language, yiddish, simultaneous translation, beatboxing, to drive, how to get rid of my french accent when i speak german, what studies are made for me, how to put up with living in a basement in eastern berlin, oh, and common sense. Care to help me out?
