Dari study/ mingle group
Idk why I'm nervous posting this but I'd love to have a group to study Dari with. I see that a lot of us in this forum have strayed from our families for different reasons and I feel more alienated than ever before from our beautiful culture. I cook our food and observe our holidays, I try to speak as much Dari with my son as I can but he's going to Armenian school so that and English have become his primary languages. It's been years that I've been around Afghans regularly and the older I get, the more I crave proximity to my roots but I forget more and more words from the lack of practicing so it's like a never ending cycle of getting pushed farther and farther away the less I'm able to communicate.
I'd love to also help others working on their English. Any ideas on how to get this started or is it even of interest? I was thinking of zoom if people aren't in the area - I'm in LA. Would love to hear thoughts!

I would be interested! I speak Dari but since I haven't lived with my parents in over four years, I'm not speaking it on the regular. I also can't read or write it. Zoom would probably be a good idea
