Introduction

I want to social with those who like to know more information about Arabic culture, hope you accept me at your meetup group and invite me soon to your events. Manal G. Michael

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 Iraqi, Egyptian & Lebanese. I know how to speak, read & write Fosha, happy to offer help at your language workshops.

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'm Iraqi native, visited Egypt, Jordan & Syria, I speak Chaldean, worked for the U.S. Army & American embassy.

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?

through a friend, I prefer to join all the above events.

What is your favorite Middle Eastern Dish?

Kabab

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

Honesty
