- Introduction
- Hi, my name is Dana. I am interested in this group because it allows people who are interested in the middle east or who originally come from there to meet. I am very social and like to meet cultured people. I live and work in the Reston area.
- What is something distinctly 'You' which most people don't know about?
-
I am passionate about cooking Indian cuisine.
- What is your favorite Middle Eastern Dish?
-
Dolma, Biryani, Beans and Rice.
- 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?
-
This group was referred to me by a friend. I would like to meet people that are cultured and open minded to other cultures, and anything that sounds fun to do is OK with me.
- 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 am of Kurdish origin. I have lived half of my life in the middle east. Places I have been to are Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey. Other countries include UK, Netherlands, Greece, and Italy. In addition to Arabic and English I speak Kurdish and understand a bit of Dutch.
- 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 speak Arabic as Arabs do. I speak and write standard (Fus'ha), and I can speak the Syrian, Palestinian, egyptian, and Gulf accents.

“ Hi Dana, that's great that you founded this group. I'm interested in learning Sorani, my girlfriend is from Hewler and there are not so many resources to learn Sorani around. Does anybody know about any classes or courses in the DC area? ”
