Post by: orca on April 15, 2012, 19:45:23 PM: Well I must say that it was more than i expected!!!Actually they wanted us to come back the next day for me to do it,but my husband insisted they did it that day as he had to work so they got me to do it there and then,there was a Turkish woman,my husband and myself in the room and she had a list of questions about 6 I think.It was ... How long have we been married?How long did i live in Turkey?Do i have any children and what are their ages ? Do I have many Turkish friends?What do I know about Turkish culture?In answer to this I said about Bayram etc and food culture,kebabs,baklava.Also she asked who was Ataturk and what did he do for Turkey? Do search this on the internet so that you can say plenty,you can get away with any language mistakes but you must know about Ataturk,its so important.I was so nervous by this time but she said to me that if i wanted to i could explain about Ataturk in English,so that was good.If you want to know anymore or need more help please feel free to send me an e-mail and i will do my best to help you.
