🌻 Hi! I’m Çağdaş 👋
I’m originally from Turkey, but later in life I became Swedish. I’ve lived, worked, volunteered, and traveled in dozens of countries 🌍 I studied computer science and worked in software engineering for some 7 years, but I’m currently taking a break.
Araya biraz Türkçe sıkıştıralım: Lisan öğrenmeyi pek severim, şimdi Yunanca’ya ağırlık veriyorum, with French and Arabic waiting on the side. I once cycled from Sweden to Turkey with many zig-zags along the way 🚴 Tayland’da fuhuş üzerine bir fotoğraf projem oldu, and it was exhibited in Sweden 📸 Ayrıca ud çalıyorum, or so I try 🎶
If you think we’re a match, don’t hesitate to say hello ve birazcık Türkçe konuşalım 💬

Me as a Teacher
I believe language learning should feel alive. I’m here to explore Turkish with you. I want our lessons to be practical, conversational, and tailored to your goals. Whether you want to travel, understand Turkish culture, read poetry, or just speak confidently, we’ll build that step by step. My goal is simple: you should leave each lesson feeling more capable than when you arrived.
My lessons & teaching style
I want our lessons to be casual and relax. We'll focus on speaking and take it step by step. Though we can focus on anything you want in specific... I like to explain patterns clearly and give you tools to think in Turkish, not just translate. I believe I am fluent enough in English to explain to you nuances of Turkish clearly as Turkish is a wildly different language, chances are it's nothing like your own native language.
If you enjoy culture, I can find us poems or short texts to read together. And we can also practice song lyrics. We could enact dialogues. I adapt to your pace, your level, and your personality. The lesson should feel focused, relaxed, and productive.

I had a great lesson with Çağdaş! For my first Turkish lesson on Italki, I learned a lot and would recommend him if you are looking for a patient and flexible teacher.
