Just found this, today, posted by a friend of mine Bea Vanni in her great blog on Turkey:
www.remarkablesolutions.com
Have you ever found yourself standing in the middle of the street in Istanbul with walk rage? Yes, I'm referring to yelling at some jerk who tried to run you over because you were walking on the green walk light and made him slow down for a fraction of a second.
Conversely, do you want to sign up for more Turkish classes, so you can eloquently yell out your obscenities? I know I do. Just once, I would like them to know exactly how I feel. Right now, I'm reduced to "yayaya yol ver, aptal!" (give way to pedestrians, stupid).
Well, if you need some real words acclimating to crazy Istanbul or other places in Turkey where culture shock defines a new range of existence, then check out Turkish Class. TC is a friendly exchange for expats and Turks to help each other out with language, culture and other salient issues. No experts (well, maybe a few), just people wanting to help each other. Kind of social research in progress.
SHE HAS A LINK in her blog to the class ... hope this way we get more classmates.
