All the Dutch people I´ve met (and that was quite a few) spoke really good English with really fine accent. I know thins guy here, he´s Irish but spent over 20 years in the Cloggieland. Listening to him is unbearable! The countryside Irish accent ir hard to understand and when you have somebody mixing Dutch and English words with a culchie drill, it´s a horror!

Hey, most of us Dutch speak quite reasonable English, with a better and more understandable accent than.... erm.... let´s say Texans......
Listen cloggie....I may have been away from TC for the weekend but my Anti-Texan radar is ALWAYS on! I can understand you cloggies fine, provided you can stop with your clog dancing long enough to say a few syllables!

Ok, the accent is horrible but I must admit you Texans have a good sense of humour!

Horrible? Come on, if that´s the one that the sheriff uses in Tarantino´s Grindhouse vol.1. and the one Brad Pitt has in Inglorious Basterds then it´s absolutely cute

Am I just wrong or most of the foreign language teaching instutions in Turkey are actually "Cultural" instutions?
A "Cultural" institution should have that title for a real reason: to inject that culture´s values into students´ minds. And of course, those values, are by its nature, biased like hell (or the term "too subjective" should be a better fit for this).

lol, bon jorrrrnnooowww
Anyway, about the language institutes...what ages are we talking about here? If I would get a Turkish course in Turkey, I don´t think anybody could force some kind of Turkish value on me. You know...old tree and all that

Ridiculous article H...EVERYONE knows that Amerikans are the bravest!
Bias exposed in Turkish education
.... A study shows the bias potential educaters have towards those they view as others and how they see only the positive side of Turkish history.
"The British are the bravest people history has ever known. Through this bravery, our nation has founded great countries that have important places in history and took many peoples under its dominion. The British people hold their independence dear. They fear no one when their independence is in danger. "
So this is really confusing, surely not ALL of them can be the bravest!!
