HI sel nice 2 meet u

Hi Sel,
Nice to meet you.
I have been in Istanbul just for 3 weeks on last March. I really enjoyed it. Istanbul is very beautiful city. I like its historical places such as mosques, palaces, tower and etc., Turkish people, and finally its sprite! I think every city has its own sprite, and I think that I felt it.

Hi, Sel, you haven’t yet appeared here for several days.
What’s up all this days? Hope to hear new stories from you.

nice yo meet you too
so where are you from?

I’m glad to you liked my country. I agree with you my country and istanbul are very beautiful places.=)
Have you been here for tourism or work? Which places did you see?

I went to my school all those days:) so I couldn’t appear and also I’m trying to study toefl. In addition, I am gonna have school exams next week. I’m very busy these days:( How are you doing?

I’m doing well. Thank you, Sel.
I start to do Toefl practice while remembering vocabulary and writing essays everyday.
I find it sot of difficult to catch all the listening content during practice, let alone speaking. In the meantime, I like to watch American movies and teleplays, though its function of improving English skills is very limited. Fortunately, my learning task will not be that heavy at all.
I think being a little busy is good state of living.
Wish you lucky in your exams.

My husband and I were invited by a person of University of Sabaci. Actually I have been Istanbul as a visitor! and my husband did his job at that university. I visited Topkapi saray(palace), Topkapi museum ( it is a modern museum that forms a big painting of war when Sultan Fatih dominated the Istanbul) Dolmabagca saray(parts of Selami and Harim), Sultan Ahmed Jamii(blue mosque), Sophia museum, Islam and Turk museum, Kiz kolasi, Grand Bazzar, Movlevi dance at the old train station, Yera batan, Istiglal Jaddesi(street) and a church at it, Karakoy, and I visited the Boğaziçi üniversitesi(university of Bogazici)and Sabanci üniversitesi with one of my turkish friends who studied at there. furthermore I tried the Iskender kebab in a restaurant at Isteklal street, it was a delicious food.
I hope that I didn’t make a mistake in spelling the name of places.

I’m trying to write essays too. I think intragrated speaking part is little bit difficult because you haven’t so much time :slight_smile: I watch American movies too, they’re really good. In addition I try to memorize vocabulary. Thank you for your best wishes:)
And good luck for your studying toefl

You’re perfect. Your spellings are almost true.
I’m glad to You have seen a lot of places. I love our food too:) Especially Döner (Iskender Kebap) I love it.
Is your husband teacher?
So where are you from?

Thank you sel. Yes, as you guessed my husband is a teacher, and I’m from Iran. I love turkish language. Actually I can underestand people’s speaking but I can’t speak. my listening is OK but my speaking isn’t!

Turkish is a difficult language because one word has got a lot of meanings. It’s good for you, I mean when people speak, you can understand… In Turkey we say “Learn one language It means one person” :))

You are right. it’s difficult, but not for me, because I’m an iranian Azeri! :wink:

hello and i am university student in 4s year .i dont know sufficient english language but i attempt to know it well i wrote thise message very hardly. please help me to learn good thank you very much

Nasrin If you’re Irainian Azeri I think you can speak:)you should only have some practise.

Javansiah I am university student in 4s year too. I think your massage is really good. In my opinion when you’re speaking english the rule is only “keep it simple”. Then where are you from and what are you studying?(which department?) Anyway nice to meet you:)

Yes, I need more practice but there is a delicate problem! that is difference between Azeri and Turkish accent. Because I know Azeri, it is difficult to pronounce the words which I use every day in other way! I know Persian very well, I know Azeri and some Arabic words. I find out that sometimes Turkish people use synonym of words in all of them! specially Arabic words. I know the words but I mostly forget to use them!

Nasrin I think It is ok because we can understand Azeri and If you can speak Azeri, I think Turkish people can understand you. Turkish and Azeri haven’t big differences so It is ok.

I’m from Yemen and now Im studing in Kingdom Of Sudia Arbia

Nice to meet you Alkattaa!
What are you studying? Which department?
