Salam.
ReplyDeleteSaeed, my friend, I admire you for launching this thoughtful, exploratory endeavour. I congratulate you for your initiative, and I wish you and your fellow group members much enlightened reflection on fascinating and sometimes perplexing issues relating to compared/contrasted/intertwined cultures.
I understand that you are focussing on Farsi-mediated sessions for the moment, but please keep me posted if you chose to introduce one of Canada's (slightly) more 'official' languages into your discussions.
Peace be with you and yours!
