I am a university student studying fungal biology, but my interests extend far beyond the reaches of fungi and bacteria. We can discuss pedagogy, science, politics, bicycles, books, art, geography, language, culture, spirituality, or whatever else interests you. *** In exchange for me speaking with you, teaching you grammar, or helping you study for a particular exam, you could offer me something other than your language. For example, teach me R, physics, about the coffee industry in your country, or everything you know about textile production. Make an offer! I taught the English language full-time at the American Cultural Association in Istanbul for 1.5 years and also as a consultant at Academix Yurtdışı Eğitim Danışmanlık for about 6 months. More to come... Please don't send me messages containing only "hey" or basic things. Show me that you have read my profile! Tell me one thing that you like and one thing that you dislike about your country. I receive a lot of messages every day. I have a life outside of italki and would like to speak only with those who are interested in a real exchange. This will help me find those people. I will not reply to you if you do not answer this. Thanks for understanding. Lutfen sadece slm ya da baska basit seyler yazmayin bana. Profilimi okudugunuzu gosterin. Bana ulkeniz ile ilgili bir sevdiginiz ya da sevmediginiz bir seyleri anlatabilirsiniz mesela. Her gun pek cok mesaj aliyorum burdan. Elbette italki disinda da bir hayatim var ve sadece ciddi insanlarla konusmak istiyorum. Buna cevap vermezseniz ben de cevap vermem. Anlayisiniz icin tesekkur ederim.
