You are right , girls.
Especially for me it is very good because I just can travel this way
Thank you Trudy, keep going

Happy Birthday dear!!!
All your wishes come true!

After reading all this I lost my hope but I am stubborn in learning languages and will be positive and do my best.
Canli, let's do it, you are much better and I believe you will succeed it. Good luck to all of us!

Canli,
I could write here about Christian fasting but I think it will be better if you have links and can read by yourself. This is very good article and hope it will help you to understand:

You can read in Wikipedia too:

I think for now this is enough.
Best regards

Ramazan Mübarek!

Wishing all health, prosperity
and happiness during Ramazan
and throughout the coming year.





As White Angel said, Christians are fasting too for 40 days on Easter. Maybe little different but the idea is same.

God bless all of us!

Kai,
I can help you with russian.
Feel free to ask.
Best regards

Kai,
For your age it is amazing but unbelievable .

ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD (The Corrs)

I'm not looking for someone to talk to
I've got my friend, I'm more than O.K.
I've got more than a girl could wish for
I live my dreams but it's not all they say
Still I believe (I'm missing) I'm missing something real
I need someone who really sees me...

(Don't wanna wake...) Don't wanna wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
All I need is to know it's for sure
Then I'll give... all the love in the world

I've often wondered if love's an illusion
Just to get you through the loneliest days
I can't criticize it
I have no hestitaion
My imagination just stole me away
(Still...) Still I believe
(I'm missing) I'm missing something real
I need someone who really sees me...

(Don't wanna wake...) Don't wanna wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
All I need is to know it's for sure
Then I'll give... all the love in the world

Love's for a lifetime not for a moment
So how could I throw it away
Yeah I'm only human
And nights grow colder
With no-one to love me that way
Yeah I need someone who really sees me...

(Don't wanna wake...) And i won't wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
You'll reach for me and I'll know it's for sure
Then I'll give all the love in the world
(Don't wanna wake up alone anymore...)

Take for granted:
a. to accept (a fact , an action, etc.) without questioning if it is true or will happen: " I just took it for granted that you knew"
b. to treat (a person) without consideration or kindness: " He never thanks you for your help; he just takes you for granted"

I hope this will help you.

Little more than a year ago I found this lovely site by chance. Was looking to find site where I can learn bulgarian to communicate with friends. When I saw the pictures of Istanbul I forgot about bulgarian.
After a while when I made all my wonderful friends here, not only turkish of course, I started to teach myself this wonderful language. I feel like maybe I was a Turkish in one of my previous lives(don't laugh, please) because I know so many things about Turkish. It surprises me all the time.
There is no romance as I said but feel this great love toward all my friends and this makes me impatient to learn melodic Turkish to undersdtand all the poems I read and all the songs I hear. I hope one day I will be fluent to talk to my friends in their own language even though they all know english very well.
And you are right we have great family of friends here. They are ready to help us without asking anything in return and we have to get that opportunity and learn.
I would say we learn not only language .
I want to say "Thank you!" to all my friends here and one more time tell them how lucky I feel to have them all in my life.
