    After much thought on what one could post here, I've realised how scarily little there is which I'd be confident teaching to someone else...

    Offered: Maths; depending on the topic - some stuff I could manage for college level but other stuff I'd need to do some revision even for Leaving Cert standard, and I don't have time to spare doing said revision!
    Guitar for beginners; I'm a reasonably okay fingerstyle guitarist, but it's mainly rhythm - if you want to play lead guitar, then I'll be of little help beyond the basics.
    Chess for beginners; wouldn't be able to teach much beyond the very basics.
    And I'd be in no way able or interested in teaching Irish, but if you're stuck for some Irish conversation, then I could handle that.

    Wanted: Any European language, pretty much. Have almost passable French and German, so simply conversation in those would be great, but I've not a word in any other language. Scandinavian languages would be great to learn especially.
