I had my first Turkish class today! It's been so long since my Spanish 1 class that I forgot how hard it is to begin to learn a new language... even saying the alphabet is hard! For Turkish this is especially true since there are several extra letters including some additional vowels that don't really have any English equivalent. But all the other students are in the same boat and the professor is really understanding so we have a lot of fun with it.
In other news, classes at Koc are only four days a week! It felt very strange to leave class today and have all the professors say, "ok, see you on Monday!" But as an exchange student, it really is a great system because it will allow me to do some sightseeing on the long weekends that I'll have every week.
Just purchased a huge lot of Turkish Classical music with CD's. Can't imagine where that inspiration came from. I did note a lot of extra punctuation marks in the titles. I'll bet Stephanie will be envious!
