Living and Working in Ankara, Turkey as an Expat | Expats Everywhere

[@s.o.s.crawford83]

Thank you for pronouncing Ankara correctly. I lived their for four years. My father was in the Air Force. He was paid in US dollars. We lived off base but, we shopped on base at the commissary for products you couldn't get in the city and we went to the American hospital which was in the city. All of these years later I miss the bazaars and hot sunflower seeds well, I miss the food. All the elementary schools teach not only Turkish but, English and French.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thanks for sharing. We don't pronounce much correctly so we're glad to hear it.

I spend 18 months in Ankara with the US Army back in the 1960s. I know it has changed a lot since then and the city itself is about 4 or 5 times larger than it was when I was there from late 1962 to May 1964. I enjoyed living there and think of it often as a great experience. .

I am planning to retire at the end of 2021 and I am serouslly thinking to move to Ankara after I research many other cities like Antalya or other Mediterranean cities that are hot and humid, I am thinking I can always visit theses cities in winter when it's cold in Ankara . It's not easy to decide but as of now I am 65% leaning towards Ankara.

Hi, great information, thanks! Can you recommend any resources or schools in Turkey that might employ a Spanish speaking (no English) teacher? Thanks!

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thanks, Ron. ISS and Search Associates seem to get the lion's share of job postings for international schools. So if you're looking for a job as a Spanish teacher, that's where to check.

[@viajerozz]

Hello , I'm Morrocan and I have english civilisation and literature degree and my master is about english for communication and TESOL certification that allow me to teach in international private universities ?

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Sorry, what's your question here? Are you wondering if you're able to teach at private international university based on what your qualifications are? Where did you study your degrees? It would certainly help if you got them in a native English speaking country like the US, UK, or Canada.

[@ibrahimadan2437]

Hey I was wondering what's the average cost of a 2 bedroom apartment in Ankara? Not luxurious and nothing to crowded and etc just a normal 2 bedroom apartment In a safe neighborhood

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Numbeo is a solid resource for averages around the world. www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Ankara?displayCurrency=USD

[@thewidowmaker3979]

2000-2500TL

[@egekeremgencoglu]

You can easily find a 2 bedroom apartment 300.000 to 700.000 (TL) depends on how luxury it is. You can look at sahibinden.com. for more real estate. It's a national real estate site. You can search that thousands of houses there.

[@egekeremgencoglu]

Rent price is around 1600 to 3000 TL depends on the neighborhood and luxuriousness.

[@preetibahravi2725]

Hello, would you advice studying English Literature/English First Language Degree in Turkey, Ankara? My end goal is to become an expat teacher. I would love to know about what is required and what expectation is needed?

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Being a teacher in an international school generally requires being a licensed teacher in your home country.

Unfortunate to hear it’s unsafe to travel alone. I was hoping to visit there and I don’t have anyone to go with.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thanks for sharing. We hope you can find a travel buddy.

[@ckurtulmamis]

It is mostly safe for solo travelers, if you do it with common sense. There are lots of solo travelers in Turkey, yeah even females too. She is making big of a deal.

[@suzzywebbers7961]

I am travelling alone in Turkey all the time. It is very safe. Turks are very considerate and respectful and very adequate in general. Just use your common sense.

Hi, sorry, she doesn't want to be contacted about the interview. She also moved from Ankara some years back. Thanks for the love though.

The first lady is an English teacher, yet her grammar is terrible, she kept saying 'a' instead in 'an;. No wonder Grammerly is an American invention.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

This is a bit of a strange comment, Robin. Christine is a music teacher at international schools originally from South Korea. Her American accent is attributed to going to American international schools around the world as her parents are South Korean expats. So English is her second language at the end of the day.

[@robinhazell6019]

@@ExpatsEverywhere I too was an ESL /EFL Teacher in 3 Asian countries for 28 years.Nothing strange about my comment because I only pointed out the truth of her speaking skills. If she had American teachers, then that explains her grammar skills, as I pointed out, it is no surprie that GRAMMERLY is from the USA. BTW: I worked with many American teachers, and their grammar was good,.I would say that the level of Grammar in all English speaking countries has fallen remarkably in the last 20 - 30 years.
