I am studying Iraqi dialect in school. I would very much like to be able to practice it with some dialect speakers in Qatar (Qataris, Iraqis, or any Gulf dialect speaker)if at all possible. I am an intermediate student, and hope to strengthen my skills in the language during my visit to Qatar for 2 weeks in December (19th-Jan 1st). Can anyone point me in a direction? Are there an social type groups that gather to practice speaking in Arabic? Maybe some people at the schools in University City? UQ?
I'm excited about my trip, and look forward to meeting some friendly people in Doha! Thank you!
