hehe... but its too late now... :S
and this guys seriously depends on me... i mean really... he evn told me that lots of times... only god knows what he plans for me next time i go there eh? hehe

actually... i haev never really thought about it like that before... and i do actually think that ur right!
i have learnt (in my few mere years of being on this planet!) that turkish guyz say "i love u" a lot... and very quickly too! i think that what u are saying might explain this...

maybe i should have tried that approach too eh?

i have only heard her most recent song.. what are the others like??

yeah... i have used songs a lot in my turkish studies too... i think ur right about how they get your ears used to the words...
what also helps is if u get the song's lyrics in turkish and english next to each other and then just keep reading through them as the song is playing.. then u actually know what u are singing.. enjoying the song.. and actually learning what all the words means too..!
good luck.. and ur very lucky to have a turkish teacher... i wish i did..

so.. its not actually one word..
