Thank you so much for your quick reply Natlisa It has put my mind at rest.

I have just had a text message from a friend, would someone please translate soon. I am a little worried as I think it has something to do with hospital?

It said: yesterday i'm hastanedeydim enistem amaliyat oldu yaninda kaldim. The rest was in English.

Thanks in advance. xxx

Thanks Lyndie! I have just checked on the net and found the transfer time is only one hour! it seems very easy! Thank you

Thanks Lyndie that was my next option to look at.

I certanily do Anna, I understand what you are saying. When one person lays down conditions, I feel that it is being possesive and controlling. Some people are not strong enough to stand up to that, so just take it. On the other hand if you are a strong person, I feel that is where the compromise comes in. They don't want you to do something, and you want to do it, so you meet in the middle. I wouldn't be bullied by a man, nor on the other hand would I be a bully. Treat peole as you wish to be treated I think.

As with any woman, you just need to show her love and respect

While we are on the subject of flights, does anyone know of any direct flights from anywhere in the Uk to Izmir in the winter? I have tried a few companies online but they are not direct.

Compromise all the way.....that is my idea

I hope that it is of some help.

I find that as I learn, the words and sentence's that I know well flow off my tongue. The longer words take extra time to learn.
It really helps with pronounciation if you can listen to someone talking Turkish, even if it is only on media file on the computer. I listend very carefully when I was in Turkey a couple of weeks ago, to how things were being pronounced. Someone actually commented on how well that I was pronoucing words, which really pleased me. It's nice to know that you are getting it right, let alone being understood
