Background

I learned Arabic at the age of 11 in Syria, where my father had a teaching job at the University of Damascus. After graduating with honors in Arabic from Princeton, I was on archaeological surveys in Egypt and Syria for 6 years.

Having translated for the film industry, I am currently working with a team of workers from Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen sending out Airplanes at the Detroit Wayne County Airport. Here in Dearborn, we are at the heart of the cutting edge of mechanical technology and its translation needs for export to the Arabic Speaking Countries.

Other Interesting Things

Here is how it works. Unless you have the Apple Arabic Language Kit, I cannot send you the Arabic translations electronically; so:

If you have English to Arabic:

*send me the English by e-mail regular mail or FAX, and I'll send you back the Arabic by FAX or regular mail as soon as I can, within one week

If you have Arabic to English:

*Mail or FAX me the Arabic, with your e-mail address if you have one, and I'll e-mail you the translation within one week.

My temporary FAX number is: 313 336-9033 "attention Denis Hoppe #192". For bigger jobs I can arrange a Fax number closer to my home.

This is a personal home page and does not represent the opinions of Yahoo! Geocities I am frequently at Henry Ford Centennial Library. Feel free to e-mail me if there's any easy research you need from Henry Ford. I recommend EASTERN ARABIC, by Rice and Said for learning spoken Arabic from phonetics, witout learning the script. To learn classical or Modern Standard Arabic from the Net, there are some Harvard links and a Brigham Young Univ. Hypercard stack for sale to accompany Rammuny and Abboud's MODERN STANDARD ARABIC(or e-mail [email protected]).
