Salaam,

Welcome to Chicago Arabic Language, Culture & Civilization Club. We are a group of people with a passion for the Arabic language, and an enthusiasm for cultures and civilizations of the Middle East and the Arab World. For over six years, we have been meeting on a monthly basis in cafes and restaurants around Chicago to socialize with like minded people who share our passion for the Arabic language and culture.

Our group consists of Arab Americans from three generations, native speakers of Arabic, Arabic learners, students, scholars, and curious wanderers who usually bring some very interesting questions to enhance our discussions and add a spice to our events. The diversity of our group allows Arabic learners to witness and experience the differences between all the Arabic dialects and offers them the opportunity to practice their Arabic with fellow learners as well as native speakers from various countries in the Arab world.

I look forward to meet you in our events. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, suggestions you might have.

Shukran,

Hicham Zerhouni
Group Organizer
