Introduction
Hi everyone! I have an interest in Arabic culture and I have spent some time in the Middle East. I speak Arabic but would love to have others to practice with. Look forward to meeting others with similar interests
List all areas which are convenient for you to attend events: 1) Westside & Santa Monica, 2) San Fernando Valley, 3) Downtown, South & East LA, 4) Santa Barbara, 5) San Gabriel & Inland, 6) Orange County, 7) High Desert

All areas are convenient. Westside primarily

What would you like other members to know about yourself? Why have you joined this meet up? What would you like to see from this meetup? This will help me to organize meaningful events.

I would really just like to have the opportunity to meet with other people who share my love of Arabic culture.

What would be an Arab country you like to spend as much time as you wish? Why? Do you like Arabic music? Name of Arab singers or what type of Arabic music genre (debke, zafin, rai, etc) you enjoy listening? Do you play any instruments?

I love Arabic music. I love sha3by Egyptian music especially. My favorite artists are Saad Al-Soghayer, Amr Diab, Tamer Hosny, Hakim, etc.

Have you lived or visited any Arabic speaking countries (including African countries)? What aspect(s) of the Arabic culture/politics/geography draws your interest in it, besides being a Native? What do you like the most about that country?

I lived in Egypt for a year and visited two additional times. I have also spent time in UAE and Jordan. I love the Arabic culture (music, food, dancing, language, etc.) and the people are so friendly.

What is your level of spoken Arabic? Beginner, conversational or fluent or native. What is your level of written Arabic? Beginner, intermediate or had formal education?.or streetwise. Please elaborate. Would you like to teach arabic?

My written Arabic is intermediate and so is my spoken Arabic. I mainly speak the Egyptian dialect.
