Introduction

Hi, My name is Emmanuel and I live in Astoria, Queens with my wife Emma. I'm a tv photojournalist, half Greek, half Armenian, currently studying Arabic, love Mid-Eastern food music culture people.

Do you speak Arabic? If so, what dialect(s). Do you know Modern Standard Arabic (FuSHa?) Can you read, write or speak FuSHa? Your answers will help us better offer suitable language workshops for the club.

I'm currently studying modern standard at the New School (continuing education).

Have you visited the Middle East, &, if so, where & in what capacity? For that matter, where have you traveled outside the US? Do you speak any other languages besides English & Arabic? No, this info won't be shared with the FBI !

I have been to Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Israel, for fun, and Iraq for work. I speak Greek, Spanish, and French.

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 found it on Meet-up site. I don't have any preferences, I like most everything.

Do you have any experience working with Non-Profits? I ask because I'm considering establishing the club as a Non-Profit in the near future.

No I don't.

What is your current job/profession/field? What is your dream job?

I'm a TV photojournalist. I have several dream jobs, documentarian, pilot, wilderness ranger, teacher.
