Hello/Hola/Merhaba!

courtney · 04-12-2005, 03:59 AM

I just wanted to say "HI" to everyone. I just joined this forum and it seems great so far. I am 22 years old and I am from the US, I live in a small town in Ohio. I speak English and Spanish. Currently I am learning Turkish and will be taking my first trip there in less than a month.

I can't wait! If anyone would like to chat, feel free to contact me. Take care.

Courtney

Welcome Courtney, and enjoy your trip to Turkey!

Istanbul is not to be kept out of your list of places to visit :D I am just amazed while seeing some pictures of it. Ah, you're lucky :-)

Hi and welcome to you courtney

Hope you'll have fun around here
and that you'll enjoy your trip to Turkey as well

i have been there several times, that's a great country, I love it

Talk to you soon

courtney · 04-12-2005, 02:48 PM

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

Yep I speak English and Spanish and I will try to help anyone that needs help with translations, just ask!

Asminha, yes Istanbul is definately on our list to visit, I have seen pictures that my friend and her husband took while they were there and it is absolutely beautiful!

My boyfriend loves it and he has friends and family there, so I am sure that we will have to stop there sometime during our trip. There is so much I want to see though while we are there, but I don't know if there will be enough time.

But I doubt this will be a one time trip, so I am sure I will have plenty of time in the future to explore the country. Again everyone, thank you for the warm welcome, and I hope to talk to you all again. Take care.

Sure a one time trip is not enough!!

I have been there so many times and still did not visit it all (still missing the eastern area

)

The FD - Did you make it to Ankara? That is where my boyfriend and I will be spending most of our time, because that is where his parents live. I've heard it's beautiful and the people there are said to be very friendly. I see that you do not have Turkish listed as a language, how well did you get along in Turkey not able to speak their language? I am just curious because my language skills are still minimal, but I will have my own personal translator most of the time, but I don't expect him to be with me 24/7.

So I guess I am just curious if most people speak some english. Take care.
