Having had some extra tuition for my accounting course, I decided that I needed to practice my Turkish - studying an online program in a new language is just great to get you started and to learn the basics, but this is a language, and I need two way communication to become proficient. So I'm in New Zealand looking for native Turkish speakers - not easy.
However, I think I've found one, but on the telephone they said that they also wanted to improve their written English. I think we are going to have to have a little discipline about this - one session English, one session Turkish. It's so easy to just talk in the language that you are absolutely familiar with, instead of working hard to communicate in the new language. Still, I want to get my money's worth out of this distance learning package (really distance learning now), and the only way is to practice.
Why is it that education is one of those products that you pay for, and then have to do all the work for?
