Languages: Hey! I know a little bit about those. I have a few resources for Japanese you can use, if you like, though you'll have to wait until I get back. If you want free Japanese lessons, I can help you there too, at least for the basic stuff. As for Arabic, I know you're probably not gonna jump on this connection, but Denis's father is fluent. I think his job involves translation or teaching or something.
Computers: Have you ever built one? Or, at least, taken one apart to replace a bad component or install a new disk drive or something? That's an interesting way to figure out the basics, at least. (I mean a simple desktop computer... don't up and take a screwdriver to your Macbook, unless you've got someone with you who knows what they're doing.)
Linguistics: I'd reference you to the person I always go to with questions about this, but I doubt there's anything she knows that you don't.
General world history: Wikipedia is great for this kinda stuff. By the way, did you know that the vikings beat Lance Armstrong to the moon by almost a thousand years?
Astronomy: I'm sure you know this, but Jeanette was an astronomer before she had kids.
