"Back in the old days", I competed in dozens of Karate tournaments and won some of them. As someone who is still afraid of bees, or birds (damn you, Hitchcock!), that should mean something.

I can try to teach you how to pronounce my name, that will probably be helpful when you come to Portugal!

I can teach you how to cook some portuguese or italian dishes. I can also teach you some self-defense techniques, always useful!
