Turkish class
I'm on my 3rd week of Turkish classes and they're going quite well. To the tune of GWU, I've already skipped 2 of 8 classes, but nonetheless I feel like I'm learning a lot.
Just as interesting as the Turkish language is the course environment. In the class we are 4 Americans, 2 French, 1 Brazilian, 2 Germans, 1 Australian, 1 Palestinian, 1 Russian, and 1 guy from Comoros. Ozge, our lovely teacher, speaks very little English, so the class is 90 percent in Turkish. Further complicating the situation is the fact that not all students in the class speak English. They are multiple translations going on throughout the 3 hour class.
When I first heard it would be 9 hours a week, with 3 hour classes MWF, I was anticipating boredom on a massive scale. However, classes have been extremely enjoyable and very beneficial. If nothing else, I can now talk to the guys at the kebab store about football, Amerika, and women.
