KafKaf -  I am that student!!!

Someone may say you should have gone to the Introduction section first but I will do that for you.

Firstly, it is nice to see you took my advice - this is a great source of information and potential friendships!!

I don't think you can say it - but I will say - you are an excellent Turkish Teacher - running lessons in Bolton and Stockport.
I go to the Bolton lessons and I know you will hate me for saying this - but they are very reasonably priced as they are run by a Community Centre. (for 2005/6 I paid about £120 for 30 lessons!!!)
All your students want to enrol for next year.

I will also embarrass you by saying: "You are so committed to your profession - 1) You won't let us leave at 8.30pm on a Tuesday Evening because we haven't finished your exercises 2) You give us Turkish DVD's to watch in our own time and 3) You very kindly "translated" my 4-page Business Plan for Erdal the owner of my local Lokanta in Fethiye which I will be presenting to him on Saturday!!!! - thank you again.

You have a degree in English Language and English literature that you obtained in Turkey - you are from Izmir and you want to eventually Head up the Turkish Language school at a North West University!

I wish more Teachers in the UK had your energy and standards - and finally to hear a native Turk say  "to be or not to be" and quote some of our other literary icons with quotes I can never seem to remember - and you learnt this in Turkish is amazing!

See you in 2-weeks and I promise I will try to do my homework!!!!!!

Hello Ian !
You are not just the most intelligent student of my Turkish class, you are great too.Of course I took your advise.I am honoured and I was thinking if I do really deserve these.I can not not thank you enough. Hope you will have a good time in Turkey.Please try to communicate in Turkish especially with the phrases I thought.Remember  to say "Bende ne para ne de pul yok" and the new one.Hope you will not forget your homework.And lastly,say hi to your friend from me.All the best.

It is a three level course book and it comes with student book, work book,glossary and two casettes with each level.
You can get this book from TOMER centres all around Turkey.
