Please, be careful before you accept someone´s seemingly friendly offer to help you learn Turkish. Understand that there are many users here who come to this site just to harass unsuspecting females. Most of the time they don´t ask for any money, but if they ever do, DO NOT PAY, unless it´s a renowned, well established institution that you can verify the existence of.
Some rules of thumb:
- do not believe the "friendly" Turkish men who insist they want to teach you on msn
- real Turkish teachers do not contact you, they leave their information in the forum, let you know how you can verify their credentials and let you know how you can contact them
- do not let anyone come to your house unless you know this person well
- never give out any personal information like address, phone number.. etc.
- do not pay for any lesson that you haven´t received FIRST
- verify the qualifications of the teachers - if they really are teachers, they will be able to prove it
- be aware that there are some perverted men out there who are looking for females that they can harass online
- if anybody ever asks you inappropriate or personal questions, stop talking to this person immediately and report him to the site administrators
- always be careful!
