"Online Turkish Lessons with a Guaranteed Speaking Practice with a Turkish Teacher 🤓 / Over 6 Years of Experience 👨💻 / Easy Learning MetHello, my name is Yunus. I'm Turkish and live in Izmir. I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish. If you want, I would like to briefly tell you how we can learn Turkish.🤓 First, in our first lesson, we determine your level together📝 and start our lessons suitable for your level. Our lessons include reading📕, writing✏️, listening🧏🏽♀️, and speaking🗣️. I want you to read and translate reading passages in the reading section. Here, we write down and memorize the new words and verbs we learn.🧠 Then, after listening to a text related to our topic, I want you to explain in Turkish what you understood. Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes. It's not a problem even if it gives me a bit of a headache🤕😁 As long as you learn🙏❤️. And finally, I give you a writing assignment related to the topic and eagerly await our next lesson. Also, you can contact me anytime outside of class.📲 I look forward to having you in my class and getting to know you and learning Turkish together. Take care.👋🏾
