- Title
- None yet.
- Introduction
- I am all about cultural exchange!!! My best friend always teases me that all of my friends are half-and-halfs. I am drawn to the culturally confused, i.e. those that are open to/curious about other cultures.
- It would be great if you could just write a little bit about yourself - where are you from, which countries/cultures are you particularly interested in --- anything
-
I am of German, Austrian, and Belgian descent, but was raised around Moroccans, so I like to label myself "culturally confused". I am especially interested in the Middle East and North Africa. But, I love learning about any/all cultures.
- Which language(s) would you like to learn (or improve)?
-
Arabic & Farsi primarily. I would also like to learn French.
- Which language(s) do you speak?
-
Spanish & Arabic...a bit of Russian, Swahili, Mandarin, a couple of Fijian dialects, etc. I can also understand German, French, etc when spoken slowly.

“ Thanks! George W? Never heard of him. I love the Paris. I always stay there when I go to Vegas. Funny I've never been a music person nor do I go to concerts ever, but I do love Arabic music. Went back to Mirage Saturday and they had the BEST music! I hear it's actually Egyptian pop. Keep me posted on anything closer to me in LA. ”
