hey y'all, what's up? i thought i would use this 'about me' section to say a few things about the languages i am learning. i am currently focusing on modern standard arabic, or fus7a... i don't know much 3amiyye yet but i hope to learn some one day, probably masri or shami dialect, but who knows! :) so far i have been learning fus7a for about a year. i have never visited the middle east but i hope to one day! i also am learning mandarin chinese, which i am relatively good at (i wouldn't be able to go to university or hold a conference, but i can navigate daily life without any problems) but can't read very well in. this one i'm learning for personal reasons - i am part chinese and i would love to impress the chinese side of my family one day! and obviously i'm a native speaker of english. no elaboration needed for that one! if your languages mesh with mine, feel free to contact me - although i'm ashamed to say that i'm a little busy and so don't always get back to people in a timely manner! right now i am not accepting friends requests (way too many to click each one individually) but i am open to messages.
