Introduction
Hi...I just moved back to Washington, DC after two years in the South Pacific. I just started an Arabic language program in preparation for my next overseas assignment in Baghdad.
What is something distinctly 'You' which most people don't know about?

I'm paid to meet people from all over the world.

What is your favorite Middle Eastern Dish?

Schwarma...yum

How did you find this group and, now that you're here, what do you want from it? For example, do you prefer Middle Eastern Music events, Dinner Parties, Language Workshops, Live Theatre, or just getting together to meet new people and have fun?

I want to learn as much Arabic language and Arab culture as I can!

Have you visited the Middle East, and, if so, where and in what capacity? For that matter, where have you traveled outside the US?Do you speak other languages besides English & Arabic?Feel free to share whatever info you'd like.

I speak some French and Melanesian Pidgin. I was in Saudi Arabic and Iraq 1990-91, and lived in Riyadh in 2005. I'll be moving to Baghdad in January 2009.

Do you speak Arabic? If so, what dialect(s). Do you know Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha?) Can you read, write & speak Fusha? Answering this question will help us to better offer suitable language workshops for the club.

I'm just starting to learn Modern Standard Arabic.
