Abla, I´m impressed! My hat off to you!
Your listening seems to be really good. Now I wonder how is your spoken Turkish? Can you carry out a conversation in Turkish fluently?

si++, your words are worth a million. They have eased my troubled mind.
But it was not such a big deal really. Serhat Kılıç’s pronounciation is so clear you almost don’t have to know Turkish at all to write down what he is saying. I think I am going to listen to him more.
Conversation? I don’t know really. Never tried.

How bout listening to him when he sings "what a wonderful world"? You may think Louis Armstrong is back!

I heard this one last night on TV:
Bize demokrasiyi yanlış öğrettiler. Önce demokrasi eşitliktir dediler, sonra olmadığını anladık.

The problem is olmadığını. It is an embedded sentence but in my opinion it may stand for both
(demokrasi) yok OR
(demokrasi eşitlik) değil.
Thus,
Democracy was taught to us wrong. First they said democracy is equality. Later we understood...
...there is no such thing./it doesn´t exist. OR
...it is not equality.
My Try only.

Bize demokrasiyi yanlış öğrettiler. Önce demokrasi eşitliktir dediler, sonra (onun /demokrasinin eşitlik) olmadığını anladık.

En iyi dualarını, onun ettiği yardımlar için ettiler.
Can you analyze the sentence? What is the subject, object and main verb? And can you mark the subclause if any?
No native speakers please!
