About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wondering.

ABOUT ME

I like reading books, stories, poems (actually anything that's written, even dictionaries) and writing; I'm very fond of language(s) and dialects.
I like music (listening and playing).
I like people (though not too many of them in one place at the same time).
I like being outside, doing sports, mainly hiking.
and a lot more.

PHILOSOPHY

Changing.

Teach, Learn, Share

TOPICS:
As a by-product of my studying, I can tell you a lot about linguistics and like to talk about this topic (please signalize by yawning when it's enough). Apart from that I consider myself a person a person who you can talk to about most topics.

LANGUAGE EXCHANGE:
I can offer: German (mothertongue), fluent English, OK-Italian and unsatisfactory Hungarian.
I'd like to improve: Hungarian, Slovenian, Turkish, Romanian, Spanish, French
I'd like to learn: everything else (unfortunately life is short and learning languages takes time)

USEFUL STUFF I CAN SHARE/TEACH:
- I can cook a few Austrian dishes
- I'm a climbing instructor, so if you are a beginner I can drop some knowledge about climbing-technique. Also, I can advice you a few places around Graz.
- If you're a student and new in town I can help you find your way on the campus

LESS USEFUL STUFF
I can teach/share:
- juggling with three balls
- guitar playing for beginners
