help on Turkish - I've studied Turkish at the university. I know everything about grammar and rules, I can even teach Turkish to intermediate level. But as I don't have any friends who speak Turkish near me, I don't have anyone to communicate with, I visit Tukey once or twice a year, so I've noticed that I started forgetting and I'm not that fluent any more. I can't express my thoughts correctly and fast enough. So can you suggest something for my problem? Do you know some place on the net where I can take advanvced course lessons or something like that?
Thank you
Makedonya'dan selamlar

- If you don't have people to keep you intouch, you have your own mind. For example, if you're sittinf in a train or another activity where your attention isn't demanded, make up conversations in your head. It may sound strange, but I find it free and natural. Try thinking in Turkish just for fun. I do that for my languages. Even though I'm not fluent, considering I have no friends of my languages, when I do meet French and Swedish people, I'm pretty good at conversing when my concentration is on. Think in Turkish. For no reason. Just because you feel like it.
