Groups are great,and teachers are doing more than great job explaining things,helping us and also pointing and correcting our mistakes at the evaluation.

Thanks Erdinç for your time and hard effort really

 

Although,i would like having more exercises,if it can be possible.

Later it maybe or at different section group for those who want to practice more

 

But what i feel is needed,that to add some amendments to the lessons

Vowel harmony is one and lAr ´the plural suffix´ is another,some had problems understanding them and how to use them

 Same goes for negative suffix,and question suffix.

 

And building questions at beginners 2,although the explanations that already exist at the exercises are very useful and would be great to add them to the lessons.

 

Those are the matters i remember i faced with other students here,and the matters that i encounter myself.

So does anyone has some notes too ?

The lessons are great but I think the steps in learning are too large. Just one exercise and then next subject while expecting that learners know that previous subject is not enough I guess. When I see that in only four weeks we are expected to build sentences of our own, I think I will never pass the exam. (I´m just comparing to my own teaching practice.) The idea of Doudi with next steps with ´build in´ previous stuff is a great one. Now I not only have the feeling it goes too fast but also that subjects are not related to eachother.

Quoting Trudy

The lessons are great but I think the steps in learning are too large. Just one exercise and then next subject while expecting that learners know that previous subject is not enough I guess. When I see that in only four weeks we are expected to build sentences of our own, I think I will never pass the exam. (I´m just comparing to my own teaching practice.) The idea of Doudi with next steps with ´build in´ previous stuff is a great one. Now I not only have the feeling it goes too fast but also that subjects are not related to eachother.  

 

 I agree, sometimes i am concentrating so much on the current section, that I am worried I will forget everything I learned in the previous section.  However I guess it is up to us to keep on top of it.  Perhaps some extra exercise before the exam covering everything we have learned would be a good way to revise before the exam.

 

Ohh and is there any chance I could have a sneak preview of the exam paper, that would be really helpful.  {#lang_emotions_lol_fast}

i have been enjoying having the stucture and step by step teaching. it is difficult remembering all the rules but the lessons are laid out in such a way that it is easy to extract the information required for each session. my teacher has been helpful and is very clear and concise with evaluations and corrections.{#lang_emotions_rolleyes}

i would also also like to thank teachers and admin for the time and commitment given to these classes. it really is much appreciated {#lang_emotions_flowers}

I think the classes are great too. Very useful and the homework/ exercises very good.

I reiterate what other people said though too - I *think* I started out ok (mltm will agree or disagree! {#lang_emotions_bigsmile} ) but I´m starting to feel as if I´m losing my way slightly. There´s just so much to remember.

I also worry that I  *may* be able to do the homework if I sit down and allow a long time to think about it, but that I´ll never be able to translate it into real conversation/ even basic sentences. I find myself forgetting things that only come back to me when the homework is marked.

That said, if I manage to pass the exam, I would love to be considered for the second round of classes!

 

Pronounciation would also be good, as would anything you can recommend that will help us learn words over and over again. I learn certain words for homework then seem to promptly forget them again. (My brain isn´t so much a sponge as a big thing with holes that words just fall through!) {#lang_emotions_head_bang}

 

Thanks very much though for all your hard work - it really is appreciated and I think this site is fantastic.

LG

Thank you for all the feedback so far, it´s very useful for us to know how you feel about the groups, what was helpful and what was not... Please keep them coming!

 

While some of the suggestions are too difficult/time consuming for us to incorporate, some of them might be easier and possible. I like the idea of having a quick review of everything at the end along with some exercises. I do not promise that we will have it ready before this group ends, but if we start working on it now, it might be ready for the next round.

 

All of your suggestions are very useful. Please keep posting.

I am really thankful to all people that contributed to these lessons, Erdinc, Catwoman, Caliptrix n Admins..

I have a big question: when is the exam??

Will we have a  Revision before?

an Evaluation of all homeworks, to know how is our "durum"?

I am realy thankful for the great efforts that have been made by the organizers, Miss Catwoman and our great class teacher Mr gencturk. the sections have been of much benefit, I can see myself making up sentences in a way I couldn´t dream off a couple of months ago.

although i agree with my fellow collegues that further exercise for pronounciation  is required. Because when I vist Turkey I find it rather difficult to understand what they are saying because they say it very fast. We here are learning how to read and write but not how to talk and say the word in the proper way.

I hope this matter could be considered in the future.

Thank you very much for offering this oppertunity to all of us. Its a great affort from your side , and a great benefit from ours.

best wishes
