Best Websites for Teaching Turkish Online? (Freelance/Set Your Own Rates)

I have a Turkish friend who knows English. She wants to teach Turkish online. Is there a site where she can work as a teacher and set her own lesson prices?

American with a question. Involves Enver Pasha.

I went to a barbershop (hair cut) in the United States that was called "Pasha's Barber Shop." Inside they have a very prominent portrait of Enver Pasha. The logo of the shop also resembles Enver Pasha. It could also be the owner possibly. I'm certain the portrait is Enver Pasha, however. It was labeled clearly.

I am NOT very knowledgable about Turkish history, I'm afraid. What ex-pat population in the US would this appeal to? Is Enver Pasha a celebrated person among many people?

If this question offends anybody at all, please forgive me. I'm asking for information because I truly do not know. Absolutely no offense was intended.

Türkiye’ye Erasmus: Sosyalleşmek ve Yerel İnsanlarla Tanışmak İçin Sonbahar mı, İlkbahar mı?

Herkese merhaba, Ben Hollanda'dan 25 yaşında, 3. sınıf hukuk öğrencisiyim ve Türk kökenliyim. Türkiye’ye Erasmus ile gitmeyi planlıyorum ve amacım mümkün olduğunca eğlenmek ve üniversitenin sunduğu aktiviteler aracılığıyla yeni yerel insanlarla tanışmak.

Başlangıçta sonbahar dönemi için başvurmuştum, çünkü herkesin sıfırdan başlayıp yeni arkadaşlar edinmeye çalıştığı dönemde daha kolay tanışabileceğimi düşünüyordum. Ancak sonradan, başka bir eğitimim için Ekim ayına kadar tamamlamam gereken bir stajım olduğunu öğrendim. Bu yüzden ilkbahar dönemi benim için daha uygun olacak gibi görünüyor.

Ancak, ilkbaharda gitmek, sosyal olarak çok şey kaybetmeme yol açar mı? Çünkü o dönemde insanlar gruplarını zaten oluşturmuş olabilir gibi hissediyorum. Ayrıca, yerel Türk öğrencilerle tanışmak ve onların sosyal çevrelerine katılmak istiyorum, ilkbaharda bunu yapmak zor olur mu diye endişeliyim.

Erasmus yapmış ya da yurtdışında eğitim görmüş olanlar, sonbahar mı yoksa ilkbahar mı daha iyi sosyal deneyim sunar? İlkbaharda hala yerel insanlarla tanışmak ve arkadaşlıklar kurmak mümkün olur mu?

Yorumlarınızı merak ediyorum, şimdiden teşekkürler!

Karanlıkta Atış - Anagold Sorusu

Herkese merhaba, umarım sormamda bir sakınca yoktur ama Anagold'a teknisyen pozisyonu için başvurdum ve henüz bir geri dönüş almadım. Madenin yeniden açılması veya zaman çizelgeleri hakkında daha fazla bilgi sahibi olduklarında bana geri döneceklerini söylediler. Aranızda bir şey duyan var mı?

Lamictal medicine price.

Hi guys, Wanted to inquire what the price for the medicine Lamictal is in Turkey right now.

I got it from there few years ago and it was super decently priced. Would love to buy some from there again.

Any online website for pharmacies I can see.

Thank you.

Marmara üniversitesi iletişim fakültesi halkla ilişkiler 2020 mezunuyum. İleri İngilizce ve orta Almanca biliyorum, konuşuyorum. 2 yıla yakındır dişe değer bir iş bulamadım. şu her avmde gördüğümüz giyim, ayakkabı veya belki elektronik / küçük ev aletleri firmalarında kasiyer veya satışçı olarak işe girmeyi denniycem. Bunun için bizzat kağıdı basılı özgeçmiş bırakmayı düşünüyorum.

Sorum şu: sizce hangisi daha iyi?

Obtaining Dual Citizenship- is it worth it?

Hello! I am an American citizen looking at getting my Turkish citizenship since my father is a citizen of Turkey. My father is rather aloof so he hasn’t been tremendously helpful, saying it really isn’t beneficial for me to bother, especially since I have a U.S. passport and he didn’t really elaborate past that, and that the documents must be a little complicated (?) It’s in Turkish so I just sent to him to read.

What I’m wondering is if it really isn’t beneficial? I was thinking since I have a Turkish dad that why not do it, especially with the political climate of the U.S. atm, maybe having another citizenship might be a good idea. But my dad seems very indifferent, especially as he wants to move back to the states anyways and not stay in Turkey. My parents were also married in Turkey in the 80s (divorced now) if that has any impact.

Thank you!

Are things looking better in 2025?

Asking sincerely. Heard a big bump is due on minimum wage, among other things.

Countries like Argentina seem to have finally broken the downward spiral chain, for now.

Any signs Turkiye is set to do the same soon?

Istanbul Airport to accommodation

Hi! Me (22f) and my partner (24m) will be traveling to Istanbul in March. I saw that scams are pretty usual there and I'm really trying to prepare to avoid them. My biggest concern rn is that our plane lands at 10:30pm Istanbul Airport, and we'd want to get to Fatim to our accommodation in the shortest time possible. So far I've seen that many people don't like taxis because of scams, or advise to get a taxi on Bitaksi app. Also I've seen the busses and Getirdrive car rental app. So my question is, what option should we choose? For looking around the city, we'd go on foot or by public transport, only this late night trip would we explore the other options. Thank you in advance!

P.S.: if you have any other tips for avoiding any scams around the city, don't hesitate to share them

If you have references would be very helpful!

Teşekkürler! ❤️

Deep house with Turkish singing / lyrics

Hey, i am looking for some music that has turkish singing / lyrics.

only that the music should be "something like" deep house, relaxed, can be dark, can be sad/negative, but not hard / loud.

it can also be pop music (because there is so much pop music with house tempo /beats) but within pop music, the alternative kind, not the loud / hard / party / screaming type.

you know any artists, songs, labels, channels, playlists that i could search for?

thanks!

Why do Turkiye-Turks hate German-Turks?

Is it because the biggest Turkish Diaspora Group outside Turkey is in Germany, because is so large there you hate it now?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turks_in_Germany

I mean many famous German Turks are succesful, like Mesut Özil, Ilkay Gündogan, Emre Can, Ayliva, Mero, Sibel Kekili, Fatih Akin , Pashanim etc.

And don't forget the BioNTech Founders Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci.

And Berlin is literally like Istanbul.. Look at Kreuzberg for example or the famous Döner Kebab.

can i live on the streets in istanbul or will i get problems with the police or criminals, will i get kidnapped or go to prison?

hey guys

i am just wondering if i would go to istanbul, can i then just live on the streets or will i get problems with police or even some criminals? i am a muslim and just wanna explore the city. i am easy going, so if it is hot there then i can sleep outside without problems and i only need bread to survive... so my question is - is the life of a homeless easy in istanbul or dangerous ?

the other question that i have is, are mosques 24 hours open there and can i spend some time there if it is cold sometimes outside or even sleep there ?

this are serious questions and i hope to get serious answers.

thank you.

What to wear to a Turkish wedding with a a “casual” dresscode?

Hello everyone,

I’ve been invited to a Turkish wedding in the Netherlands. The wedding will take place in the evening and I was told that the dress code is “very casual” .However, I’m still unsure about what this means in practice.

Does “casual” in this context mean jeans/pants and a nice blouse, or should I opt for something a bit dressier, like a nice skirt or dress? I want to make sure I’m dressed appropriately—not underdressed or overdressed—while also respecting Turkish wedding customs.

I’d really appreciate any advice. Thank you!

Coming to Turkiye on a scholarship

I'm originally from Pakistan and studying in an engineering university right now. But I have an opportunity to come to turkiye on the turkiye boslari scholarship. I wanted to know if life is okay enough or good enough for foreign students in Turkiye and how the job market is there cuz the one here is fuked. And would it be worth it to travel all the way to Turkiye to get my bachelor's degree considering the work opportunities and costs after the degree is completed? I'm saying this because the routine here in Pakistan is getting to my head a little bit(no free time). Any opinions or advice from a Turkish national would be appreciated greatly

ABD'den kişisel bilgisayarını Türkiye'ye getirme

ABD'li biri kendi yıllardır kullandığı kişisel bilgisayarını (desktop, laptop değil) ABD'den aynı uçakta Türkiye'ye getirebilir mi? Ya da kargoyla daha mı iyi olur? Ne kadar tutar? Gümrük vergisi ödenir mi ve eğer ödenirse ne kadar tutar? Bandrol ücreti diye bir şey duydum o ödenir mi?
