Türkçe daha iyi konuşmak istiyorum, ama ne yapayım, türkçe o kadar kolay bir dil değil. Türkçeyi iyice öğrenmek için çok çalışmak gerek.

this is fantastic! thanks for sharing

I will celebrate it with my whole family, many people will come, like in Every Christmas, we will sing carolls, giving presents ( we will put it under the Christmas tree and then the youngest member of family will read the notes and give the present to a right person)and eat lots of traditional dishes... I just can't wait. I wish my bf could see this, he is Turkish, he had never seen real Christmas...

Admin, thank you very much!

It'a bit strange request, but this is very important for me. There is a programme in the Samanyolu TV I must see. Generally it's about Turkish people abroad, but this one should be about Turkology in Poland. I must see it but there is no way to see it in Krakow.The programme is called "Dış Hatlar" and will be on 17 th December. Unfortunately I don't know the hour of it, I know ony it will be late evening. I will try to find out.

Could someone record this programme on VHS casette or CD? I will pay for sending it to me. Please! It's very important for me!!!

Learining T7urkish here, in Poland I use "Hitit" handbookspublished by the Ankara University Press. When you finish upper intermediate and advanced turkish courses in TOMER you can get a special certificate from Ankara Univeristy.
Hitit book are quite good. There are topics like divorces, food, environment contamination etc. In my opinion it is enough to learn Turkish well.

As far I know, TOMER prepares two types of courses: 8 months courses and holidays courses, lasting 1-3 months. To study in Turkish, on some turkish university you need to pass the exam called Yuksek II (it's a the level- High II). This is what I know. I will know more after next year holidays. I have writen a few e mails to different turkish univerities, but none gave the answer...
