Were you born in London? Generally, people who live in the west and have been there as kids don't have accents. My sisters and I certainly do not have an accent, but my parents do : ). Actually, when we were visiting in Iraq, we were told that we have an accent in Arabic (although I think my Arabic is great). People asked us if we were "foreign" lol.


this is true....

whilst I was born back in the motherland....I was 2 when we came here....

and I always get told that its obvious I come from the west as I supposedly have an accent that makes me sound iranian...no idea how....

You could learn to make it, it's not very hard. But you might not want to take advise from a person who's lazy to even cook for herself. :tongue:

On a side note,

I have officially joined the group. Can't believe they asked me if I was "sure":angry:

What a crazy question, there should never be any dolma left... :biggrin:

And haha, that's something to go home at the weekends for.

oh, yeah. I did not make the link because it's the summer term and many people are no longer having classes (so, no longer cursing when waking up on a Monday morning).

But I like how Iraqis say 'ech lonek'? I like to reply 'lowni asfar' . Do you get it? Not very funny, but I like doing it. :smile:

There is an Iraqi poetry translation workshop on the 17th of May, somewhere in London. Sounds interesting!




Totally irrelevant, but: are all Iraqis doctors? Honestly, I see more Iraqi surgeons, medical students than other Arab nationalities. :eek:
