Hi everyone! 👋 I’ve been teaching Turkish on italki and recently completed my first 17 lessons with students from different backgrounds. I really enjoy helping learners feel more confident in speaking Turkish, especially in daily conversations. What is the most difficult part of learning Turkish for you?

Sooner or later, we definitely face some hardships in our lives, but different people have different attitudes on these problems. For the people who experienced some tough times in their chidhoods are always very strong-minded when they grow up. No matter, what diffculties they meet, they can keep looking on the bright side. They have a specific character that they never complain anything, all they do is to slove the problems. In fact, I am one of them. Each time, when I face some bottlenecks, I make sure that I am clam. I usually recall the same situations appeared in my past days. It can encourage me to believe that everything will pass. The only thing I should do is to be patient and figure out problems as possible as I can. After experiencing successfully sloved some diffcult problems, nothing can be a big deal in my life. So, difficulties can be treasures in your life, not stumbling blocks.

Thanks for all 🙏

Can I use these two interchangeably? It just slipped out of my hand It just slipped from my hand

Today, I will talk about my studies during winter vacation and spring vacation. I have many assignments at university, including reports and tests. Some reports require me to summarize what we learned in class, while others ask me to think about a topic and write my own ideas. I have two French tests and three English tests. This year is my final year of studying French, so I want to study hard and get good results. For English, I want to study little by little and improve my skills steadily. I usually feel sleepy at night, so I try to study early in the morning after I wake up or study a little during the day. I want to enjoy my winter and spring vacations, so I plan to choose some days to go to the library and focus on studying. I like studying while listening to music, so I want to do my best while listening to Ghibli music. I am interested in study methods, so I would like to know if there are any study methods that you often use and would recommend. Personally, I think studying before sleeping is effective. I have actually experienced that when I look at English vocabulary before going to bed, I can naturally remember the words when I wake up in the morning, which I found very interesting.

I´m learning english for an important exam. I´m new to italki and i´m not sure where to start. I´d like to practice my writing. Thank you for your feedback!

Can you guess what this idiom means? 🤔 My best friend is visiting this weekend. I haven’t seen them in a year, so I’m going to cook their favourite meals, buy them a little gift, and basically "spoil them rotten"!

Being able to talk on a wide variety of topics is really helpful for getting a higher mark on the IELTS test. In this podcast I will help you to form opinions and ideas for Speaking Part 3 and Writing Part 2. You can also book a private lesson with me on my profile. Hope to see you in a lesson soon!

In this episode, we’ll explore two very common Chinese words: “原来” and “本来”. Many Chinese learners feel confused because these two words seem similar and are sometimes translated the same way in English. Are they really interchangeable? When can you use one but not the other?
