Hi my name is Maryam! I’m a Pakistani-American from Chicago, I will be traveling to Iraq soon! I’m currently getting my masters in Middle Eastern Studies, focusing a lot of my research on Iraq and the Marshlands. I am trying to learn the Iraqi dialect though and would love someone to practice with!
