I'm looking for anyone who is interested in improving his/her Arabic or English. My native Arabic dialect is the Palestinian Levantine dialect, but I'm also fluent in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).
I'm originally Palestinian, but I grew up in Jordan before moving to the US as a child (for this reason, English is my second mother tongue). Having never lived in Palestine/Israel, and having been exposed to other Levantine dialects while growing up, has naturally affected the way I speak. What I speak is therefore mostly Palestinian, but with some Jordanian influence.
I'm a graduate student in NYC pursuing a master's degree in Middle Eastern Studies. While studying, I have tutored and taught Palestinian Arabic. In addition, I also studied MSA in school as well as on the college level, and thus I am fluent in it as well.
