Introduction

I am a retiredESL teacher with a background in TESOL and applied linguistics. I'm studying Arabic and enjoy traveling in the Middle East.

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.

Modern Standard Arabic (intermediate)

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 !

As a tourist, I've been to Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, UAE, Oman, Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Morocco. I speak some French and German.

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?

M.E. Events, language workshops

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 experience but am interested in this.

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

Retired English/ESL teacher and am presently trying to figure out how I can live/work in the M.E. an NY.
