I joined the group until I saw that the entering note has changed into 'Your first duty is to preserve and to defend Turkish Independence and the Turkish Republic forever.'.


I dont think that is the essence of this website. And its not a saying I wish to put my signature under either.

Indeed lovely idyllic place.. And ofcourse I can recommend a city trip to İzmir

Also, from Foça its not so far to Bergama, which is also really worth seeing.

I havent spent a holiday or several days in Foça, but we passed it several times and it is really a beautiful fisher village.

A friend of mine has a summer house there which I hope to visit this summer.

I have a day off.

I got permission.

- Make a succesful combination of my job at an education centre and my studies (so far I failed )
- Learn basic Arabic
- Get high enough grades to be accepted into an exchange programme
- Read more Turkish literature in its original language
- Learn how to knit
- Quit smoking

What is the English translation of this word?

The egitim merkezi that I currenyly work, will organize a new years evening with fireworks and everything. According to the money the parents can miss, children will give money to buy those fireworks. However, a part of the money will be collected and used for charity, to send to countries in need such as Cambodja (our first target, more to follow insallah!). My boss said Fedakarlik, but I couldnt think of a fitting word in Dutch, since self-sacrifice isnt the correct one in this sense.

Benefit evening? I just cant think of any matching word to give the event, as charity isnt totally correct either.

Any suggestions are welcome so that I can prepare the letter to send to schools and parents!

The mornings come sleepily - Is the Turkish version a certain idiom? As I obviously translated it literally
