Summary: Well, I am back after a bit of a break. I am not planning on posting every week this spring, but will shoot for two shows a month. A bit slower, but I think we have a good core of material up on the site to get everyone started with. I did want to announce that I have a new website at The Everyday Language Learner. Check it out. Today’s podcast is of a journal I wrote just three months after getting to Turkey. You will hear that the sound quality isn’t as good as later recordings, but I think it has a lot of great elements in it. The summary goes like this: After I begin telling about listening but not being able to understand anything on the radio I write about the nice spring weather and our plans as a family to go to the seaside where we will drink tea while the kids play. If the kids play well, I will study a bit of Turkish. But if they don’t then I will enjoy playing with them anyway. And while I watch the kids, my wife will go for a run. That evening we are having our neighbors over for dinner. Consuelo is planning on making my favorite food, a Bolivian dish, so I am very excited. Our neighbors can help us learn Turkish and they are really kind and warm. It will be a fun time.
