Introduction
Hi I am Al. I am an american-latino guy that lives in Baltimore. I've been studing Arabic on my own for the past two years, and finnaly I decided to take a beginers couse in the community college. I speak Spanish and Italian fluently. I was member of
What is something distinctly 'You' which most people don't know about?

I luv communication, dialects and do pay attention to ways people have when pronouncing or using simple dialect.

What is your favorite Middle Eastern Dish?

I dont have a favorite dish. I luv Indian/Mddle east cusine.

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?

Via Internet. I was in the Baltimore Arabic Meetup, but it is no longer. Attendance and participation was low.

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.

Though I do travel, I have not had the opportunity to travel to the Middle East.

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 consider myself a strong beginner. I am do basic conversation with ease. I study almost every day. Yes i do know Fosha and I can recognize a bit Syrian and Egiptian dialects.
