If they want to use your laptop, ask if you could borrow their cell phone and make various calls and stuff.;)
Just as they could cause some costs for your equipment, you're doing the same thing to them so I see it as a rather fair trade given how sophisticated cell phones have gotten.
If you roll in some system administration, then Webmaster would be the common title.
Front-end developer is good if you want to get into nitty gritty details. When I used to work for a dot-com I was in the "Front-End Platform" group as a Web Developer, though this involved classic ASP and ASP.Net 1.0/1.1 back in the day.
Web developer works if there some server-side scripting or more than a little Javascript or other code in the client side content.
Given what you describe, UI Designer or Engineer seems to be a logical choice.
I found foreign language classes to be really easy in university, where up to a quarter of my grade was based on attendance alone. My suggestion is to consider two possibilities:
1) Stick with the Latin base. Here you'd pick a language where the alphabet is still an A-Z group like French, Spanish or Italian so that the key becomes picking up on subtle changes like adding accents on letters and learning general things. In Canada, we have to learn some French in grade school so I had a bit of an advantage over my classmates in taking a basic French course as one of my electives.
2) Go with a non-Latin alphabet. Russian, Chinese, and Arabic would be a few choices here where part of that 101 course is just learning to read and write within that alphabet. Very interesting experience I had learning Russian 101 and 102 which were rather easy courses for me.
