Translation of Gigolo

The current situation in Libya is really difficult. I tried to get in contact with acquaintances, but all the phones were not working. I'm really concerned about their well-being. I'll try again later.
Just last week a friend of mine showed me how to do these special effect, so I was focused about this word. I have been sleeping five hours a night for a week now and I am pretty tired all the time. Hopefully recovery will come soon.
I once had a lesson with a private teacher, but unfortunately she could not come regularly. She was always sick, then I have visited a school in Andalusia, which was worthless, since we talked only German.
