As a language enthusiast and a graduate of Translation and Interpreting, I have always taken great interest in my own language; how it works, what challenges it presents compared to others, what the stress and intonation patterns are, how the formal language differs from colloquial language, etc. Thus, I can show and teach you how a real native speaks.

Apart from translating for over 10 years, I am also an English instructor at a university, so I know the needs of a language learner and how to address and meet those needs.

I can't remember any awkward, long silences when I am engaged in a conversation with others. I will always find something to talk about! And what is there not to talk about when it comes to Turkey? Travel, cuisine, current affairs, history, cinema and TV, and many others.

Just keep in mind that Turkish actually makes sense in its rules of grammar and pronunciation. All you need to do is put those aspects into practice with an eager conversation partner.
