Wow really nice! You sound like a native speaker except for a little accent on some wovels. Congrats for being on Hürriyet!
Btw. as a Turkish person I never understood why people are obsessed with foreigners speaking Turkish. They find it amusing and funny most of the time, not mentioning the Turkish Olympics etc. I guess this has to do with the failed Imperial past and the inferiority complex resulting from being a 3rd world country. Oh well..

Hmm no not laughing, I think I wasn´t able to express it with my somewhat poor English. (Doesn´t amusing have some positive connotation? Should´ve looked it up on dictionary Anyway, Turks indeed like it, but I think it is somewhat beyond the borders of normal!
Once again, conratulations. Hurriyet is one of the biggest newspapers in Turkey and its site is one of the biggest news portals!

what imperial past? And this has nothing to do with inferiority complex, i think its rather when a foreigner tries to speak Turkish, they usually sound cute and Turks enjoy it...
