I'm thinking that I just packed my suitcase for next thursday with the knowledge I packed half of the stuff with clothes and books to leave there at Kadir's place. So weird,, a part of my life in just one suitcase.

Suddenly I'm thinking it all over again, realizing I'm fucking gonna move to the other edge of Europe :-S

Yes, but I thought the person who started this thread meant to have the word 'lesson' in it.. but i'm not sure

I for myself would also say the simple version..

But I don't think a suffix on Türkçe is needed here, or is there?

And maybe she meant 'ders' by 'der'. ?

Then it would be (I guess)

Türk ders öğrenmek istiyorum.

A native please correct me!

Well, things will work out after all then

Congratulations my dear

I think that if you are in a relationship, the money is not 'mine' and 'his' but it should be 'ours'. However, in a situation in which you both live in different coutnries under different circumstances, both should be financially independent and act the way circumstances let them: If you have money left and he doesn't: you'll buy him a phone. But if you can't cope with it because of kids he has to take care of himself and also offer YOU to go to you and not vice versa.

And I don't wanna sound harsh but.. working hard is no reason not to get in touch with you. Phonecards to call abroad in a phonehouse aren't really that expensive at all. And about the letters is true.. they take ages.. but believe me.. from Europe to Türkiye goes slower than from Türkiye to Europe! (at least these are my experiences over 2 years).

If I were you I would try to read between your own lines. Ask yourself why you said certain things the way you said them.. Is it because you really feel them or because you want him to respond on them or is it because you'll freak out if you loose him.

I hope everythin will work out for you. Maybe you could go on your own on holiday for a week or two to see how it is now.

Believe me, I even have troubles talkign Turkish to Kadir on the phone!! I don't wanna make any mistakes, though I know he appreciates each attempt, no matter how many mistakes. But just like the otehr learners: you wanna do it well!
