    This really depends on you and the teacher. If you find that you slip into Turkish a lot during the lesson then I would say remove the temptation and choose a non Turkish speaker. (If your goal is to practice your speaking confidence and fluency performance in the lesson) If the teacher can speak Turkish but communicates in English this can be beneficial: - you get the comprehensible input from your teacher - they can notice when and why you are translating too directly from Turkish - helping you spot the differences in the two languages can be useful - they can help you find the right expression for your intent much faster, if that is one of your goals A lot depends on your final goal. If you are hoping for a near native like final goal than building on top of your native language can create problems later. If you are looking to improve quickly and accept that you are aiming to be competent than building on top of your native language makes a lot of sense. All the best!

    The "grammar" is fine but I would question the intent. To meet to do X is short for To meet IN ORDER TO do X So is she meeting IN ORDER TO have a barbecue? Sounds strange. As if the bbq was the goal. Perhaps she is meeting her friends to have a good chat and catch. To meet for X Again this is about purpose and intent. To meet my friends for dinner. This is fine but it puts the focus on the dinner not the friends. Which is obviously possible. Come to my house for a barbecue. The barbecue is the "star". So in your sentence do you want to focus on meeting friends or having a barbecue? If it is the friends part then you could add the barbecue as extra info rather than the focus. eg On weekends she meets up with her friends and they (often) have* a barbecue. *other verbs possible: order, cook, do, organize etc

    There is no factual difference in the two sentences but there is a slight difference in focus and origin of the name. To call something X can imply a common usage, typically informal in origin. We all called that teacher Mr Strict. To name something X implies some sort of formal procedure. He was named player of the year. The meteorological centre named the earthquake Adam. So we can say something like: I was named Adam on my birth certificate but I was always called Adamino at home.

    the standard phonetics for REPUTE show /rɪˈpjuːt/, the standard phonetics for REPUTATION show /ˌrep.jəˈteɪ.ʃən/. So basically the difference is between /I/ and /e/. The /I/ is in fish /fɪʃ/, the /e/ is in egg /eg/.

    The position of ALSO is particular...... Without ALSO the sentence is fine: "Alex wants you in the interview panel." Which is a more direct version of "Alex wants you to be in the interview panel". But is fine either way! Now, what about ALSO? ALSO implies "in addition to something else". So all of these are possible: (Note that in each case ALSO will probably be stressed) "Also Alex wants you in the interview panel' (This ALSO means in addition to the ideas in the conversation) "Alex also wants you in the interview panel" (This ALSO means "you in addition to someone else") "Alex wants you also in the interview panel" (ALSO must be stressed and means Alex wants you in addition to being in OTHER group, to also be in the interview panel) "Alex wants you in the interview panel also" (Here the ALSO means this desire by Alex is also how someone else feels - commonly the speaker! - and that you were aware of this, we more commonly use TOO, I feel)
