Congratulations Liverpool. They surprized everyone including themselves. I can't find a word to describe the dismal performance of Besiktas. That was one of the gravest defeats in their history. I feel lucky that I don't support them but am sorry for my friends who do.



I watched this football match and sympathise with my fiancee's nephew who is a Besiktas supporter what I would say is that Liverpool are only a point ahead and in football there is always another game, I am sure they will be improved next game

Hi all,
I am going to Istanbul on the 18th November to see my fiancee Nesrin and am looking forward to the trip. We put an advert in a local supermarket REAL, advertising English lessons, my English is not bad but I am no teacher. We received a phone call today asking is it possible to teach a Turkish man the basic English language, I am a bit concerned because I would like to help and take up the offer but my English is not to teaching standards and I only have a week in Istanbul hardly enough time to teach the basic English language.

What do the members here think? should this guy come to our apartment in Istanbul or shall I go to him, of course Nesrin has to be there to translate some Turkish as he cannot speak any English at all. Would love some advice
Thanks



Hi Richard,

Maybe hard to say, but if you are not an experienced teacher AND you only have one week, I don't think (being a teacher myself) you will be able to teach that man on a qualified base. However, if you want to try anyway, you can use the TPR-method (just google on TPR and you get many links like http://www.tpr-world.com/ ) in which case you don't need a translator. Wish you luck.



Hi Trudy,
Thanks for your comments I will see how it goes, we have a meeting planned for when I arrive and I will take it from there

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies, I hope I am not a Dudu I am a really nice guy honest! anyway I do appreciate this website it has helped me overcome some issues and helpful information in the past.

Quoting Badiabdancer74:

Ok...back to the original post. Are you going to charge this poor guy to have a conversation with him? Only well trained teachers could do anything with an ABSOLUTE beginner...especially in a week. I took the certification for TESL (teaching English as a second language) and they told us we should only teach intermediate and above. Real TESL teachers are bachelors level or above. Are you even a teacher? It is really unethical for you to charge this guy...maybe trade him for Turkish 'lessons'. He probably has the same teaching ability you do.



Hi Babiabdancer74,
I never said that I was a qualified teacher and I am only wanting to help this guy learn the basic English language, Nesrin thought it was a good idea for me to teach someone what I know is my best subject English, I never think of money that was not the first thought that came into my head.

I enjoy meeting new people and have quite a few Turkish friends and I really enjoy conversing with them, my small amount of Turkish and their little English makes for some intresting and enjoyable conversations and who knows this guy might become a friend. I am very flexible kind of guy and do not think straight away about how much I should charge him for lessons. I met a Turkish girl in England and helped her with directions in my home town let her use my computer took her out for a meal and stayed intouch, later when I asked her to learn me some basic Turkish she immediately replied I will charge you this much, I think you are a little unfair in your comments!

Bugun yikigım biliyor musun?
Ezginim, caresizim, umutsuzum
Sanciliyim birakma beni, insanlar kotu
Birakma beni korkuyorum.

Bir deli otlar buyuyor icimde
Sanciliyim, yorgunum, kederliyim
Bu halini sevdim gitme kal
Camurlar cirkefler icindeyim

Bir dayak yemis adamim simdi
Bezginim, kararsizim, yilginim
Al gotur beni o kayip gecelere
Yeter ikimize yalnizligim
