HOW TO SAY WHERE YOU ARE FROM IN TURKISH | TURKISH GRAMMAR LESSON 9

Now you can ask people where they come from in Turkish.
Merhaba,
Ben Tamer Yıldırım. I was born and grew up in Izmir, Turkey. I have bachelor’s and master’s degree in turcology. It’s a field in which you study Turkish and other Turkic languages along with their historical developments in phonology, morphology, semantics and syntax. It gives you a great opportunity to ask Turkish language WHY, HOW and BUT HOW COME throughout your journey and the best part is YOU GET YOUR ANSWERS! Even after having your bachelor’s degree, you run and jump in the living room saying I WANNA TEACH EVERYTHING I LEEEAAAARNT!!!!
So imagine me after having my master’s degree!

Ahem.
I always wanted to expand my world when I was studying. I’ve been to Kazakhstan as an exchange student in 2013 and 2016 as they speak a Turkic language. I’ve been to Europe with my backpack first time in 2015 and have visited France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czechia, Austria, Hungary and Serbia. I wanted to pass to Izmir through Greece but my Schengen visa was over. Haha!
I had already started teaching Turkish in Kazakhstan when I was an exchange student but I wanted to educate myself more about it. So I enrolled to the certificate program organized by Yunus Emre Institute and Gazi University. It was such a unique program! I already had pedagogical courses before, but this was something else. It genuinely gave me the confidence to teach Turkish.
And then what? I taught at university for one year! Even if it was only for one year, it still means that my biggest dream came true! I was supposed to teach 6 hours a week according to my contract but I split the students into different groups and taught 32 hours per week! I was that hungry to teach... I’m not sure if this idiom works in English but that’s what we say in Turkish.
Anyway. Here I am now! Teaching online.
I use Zoom and Skype for my private lessons. If the learner demands a speaking class, we switch to Facetime, too.
I use 4th gen iPad Pro (2020) and a 2nd gen Apple Pencil for the best quality of artificial blackboard experience. In order to sound better, I use Samson Q2U dynamic microphone. My upload speed is 300 mbps so our sounds never cut. You could contact me via my mail address down below.
