Hello from Istanbul! İstanbul'dan Merhabalar!

Introduce Yourself Here
#1

Hi everyone! Brian here. I’m originally from the US but I am living in Istanbul, Turkey.

Super glad to be here and participate in this great online conference that Richard and the team have put together - so impressed!

I am intensively learning Turkish, Arabic, Farsi, and Cantonese as well as maintaining Mandarin. Would also love to dive into Russian and European languages soon too.

Would love to connect especially with anyone who’s focusing on Turkey!

Herkese selam! Brian burada. Aslında ABD’liyim, ama İstanbul, Türkiye’de yaşıyorum. Şimdi Türkçe, Arapça, Farsça ve Kantonca öğreniyorum ve Mandarin’i oğreniyorum. Ayrıca yakında Rusça ve Avrupa dillerine de başlamak isterim. Özellikle Türkiye’de yaşan herkesle bağlantı kurmak isterim!

Merhaba Brian. Tanıştığıma memnun oldum. Kaç yıl İstanbul’da yaşıyorsun? Orada bir yıl yaşadım ve şehiri çok özledim.

كيف هي لغتك العربية؟ هل تتحدث الفصحى او العامية؟

Hi Brian, I’m from Istanbul. If you wish, we can contact with each other. If anyone who wants to practice Turkish, you can write me…

Brian, there is a young woman named Linda who is from Turkey, maybe you can find her? I see her often in the moon café.
