Justin

Introduction:

"Hey, I'm Justin and I studied Modern Standard Arabic to a limited working level. I'm looking for a way to keep my language skills fresh. I love the culture and foods of the Middle East and look forward to meetings with the group!"

What is something distinctly 'You' which most people don't know about?

"I love to play sports, but find it hard to sit through watching them on TV (except NFL Football)."

What is your favorite Middle Eastern Dish?

"Shawarma with tahini sauce is a favorite of mine."

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 was actually looking for schools that taught Arabic. I feel that this will be far more educational and enjoyable though. I think I would enjoy any of the activities that I've read about. I'm really looking forward to workshops though."

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 have never traveled outside of the US. I am very rusty with my Spanish, but I can usually understand it if it is spoken to me."

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 can understand a little bit from other dialects, but I speak only in Fusha."
