  • 1) Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?

    Yes, I am a native Turkish speaker.
  • 2) Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

    Yasar Kemal is an important writer who leads Turkish literature.
  • 3) Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or behavior in the language that you particularly like?

    We say "kolay gelsin" when we see someone working on anything, which means "I hope it gets easy for you."
  • 4) Why does speaking this language matter to you?

    I like the harmony and expressions in this language.
  • 5) What is the main difficulty in learning this language, and what can help the process of learning?

    The most difficult part is suffixes, which are quite different than their version in European languages. Because the Turkish language is an Altaic language, it is one of the agglutinative languages.
  • 6) Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.

    Because I graduated from Bogazici University where its educational language is English, it was quite weird to read Turkish writers and their books but anylse them as English.
  • 7) How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?

    By contacting local people, a person can improve his language. Especially using the language in daily life such as when he is at market, shop or in conversation with a friend might make huge improvement in learning.
  • 8) What makes you a Superprof in language?

    I have a Ph.D, M.A., and a Bachelor's degree, all in Turkish language and Literature. I worked as a research assistant and then lecturer in a university in the Department of Turkish Language and Literature. Recently, I have been working as an A-level Turkish teacher in a college in London.
