What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach some useful Russian phrases (that later will not reveal themselves to be prank pick-up lines. Or they will, if you'd like that). Maybe a bit of Russian cuisine as well. I'd be glad to share my professional knowledge of English (humble, right?), as there are few things I enjoy more, than speaking languages or speaking about them (philological education, you know;);
If you're into it, I can talk for hours about movie theories, movies in general and sci-fi and old-timey horror flicks in particular (and also 90s romcoms - guilty pleasure); I also have a passion for modern TV (Homeland, Transparent, Broad City, you name it);
I can easily share the joy of just walking around the city;
some beginner moves for west coast swing. this is how this awesome dance looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udqBB0R5SPI&list=LLHvSpmQZ8vwEh4tJc1KVMOQ&index=28
