- Introduction
- a'Salaam Aleikum! I'm Lauren, and I'm studying Mideast Studies/Anthropology
at Fordham in the Bronx. I want to take advantage of all the fun events going on in the city, and an Arabic Language and Cultural Groups seems like just the thing for it! - Do you have any experience working with Non-Profits?I ask this because we are considering establishing ourselves as a Non-Profit in the near future.
-
No, but I'd be more than happy to assist in the process in any capacity. I've got a head on my shoulders, and don't mind putting in a day's work. I've only ever worked with children, but that's because I love kids, not out of desperation.
- 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've never left the US, but I've taken Spanish and German. I can use them both to understand news articles and movies, but my conversation skills were never developed in the classroom setting. That's why I'd like to start using Arabic in your group.
- 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 craigslist searched for Arabic Language Groups and found this group. I enjoy the events my university's Middle Eastern Student Association puts on, but I'm looking for something a little more active.
- 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.
-
Just beginning to learn. It's a serious study, though. I'm taking MSA at uni, and hoping to supplement it with a language group!
- What is your current job/profession/field? What is your dream job?
-
Student. After college I'm joining the Peace Corps for a few years before (hopefully) I can look for a job which will allow me to use my Mideast Studies Degree. I'd love to do humanitarian work, or be a translator- anything but sitting at a desk.
