TLL HCA Podcast Episode 10: Galatasaray Match




The Turkish Listening Library show

Summary: Episode 10 feels a bit like a milestone. It of course is not. 100 may be, but 10 is not. But today's podcast is about my going with my language helper, Mehmet, to a Galatasaray Match. We were going to go by bus, but a friend of his gave us a ride in his car instead. Before the match, we stopped in one of the local restaurants for Kokorech, my first try with this Turkish delicacy, and it wasn't too bad. After dinner, we had tea and then headed into the stadium. The place was a mad house of energy and excitement and it is hard to imagine what a Fenerbahce match might be like. The crowd filled the air with chants and cheers and we never really sat down during the entire match, which was a very exciting 2-0 win. Our first goal came on a corner kick from Lincoln to Harry Kewell. Our second goal came with some fancy footwork by Lincoln. It was a great experience and I hope I can go again some day. As always, find just the Turkish at the Turkish Listening Library's Handcrafted Audio Podcast page. And think about leaving a comment and a rating for the show here at Podbean.
