My friend also is english teacher...but this doesnt prove anything about her english. All i can say about her english that is better than mine. Nothing else.
So you are basically saying that to be able to teach a language you don´t have to be able to speak it properly??  Just that you need to be ´better´ than someone who isn´t a teacher??

I Want to say for all we make me very angry
what ido for you to make that?
that is too much
Nifrtity I really don´t see why you are getting yourself all worked up and angry! If you declare yourself (without modesty) to speak English like a native, then of course you are leaving yourself open to criticism, because you writing IS NOT perfect English. This does not mean that you are not talented and clever, and I admire ANYONE who can speak well in another language, but to declare yourself perfect was asking for trouble!

I will add a couple of smileys and exclamation marks to indicate that I was agreeing with you not complaining about your post.

at this dictionary you also listen the pronounciation of the words. I think you´ll like the phonetics of turkish. you read what you write.

Hi all, I was just looking at the above website and noticed some letters I havn´t seen before, â, ä, ß, actually the first letter I have seen in a previous thread containing the word hâlâ, but the last two I have not come across in Turkish, can anyone tell me if they are Turkish letters and if they are commonly used in words please?

I didn´t realise before but it´s because Seslisözluk works multilingually Ally. That letter ´ß´ is a german one representing ´ss´ and I just typed in the German word ´Schloß´ to test it - and came up with the Turkish word ´Kale´ (castle). Presumably the ´â´ is for the French as well as Turkish. Can´t think what language the ´ä,´ is used in though - but it´s not Turkish.

nooo,we never use ä and ß. but â is a minor probem of turkish being phonetic. it´s the long a, but doesn´t exist in the alphabet.

thanks for your help lady in red, im pretty sure that ´ä´ is actually spanish, was just starting to worry that id learnt the wrong Turkish alphabet
