Fri, 24 Jan 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The Most Common Problems of Turkish Students While Learning English In the last years, English has become more and more popular worldwide.

This was really hard, as the companies were still closed, and everything was online, which made it hard for me to find a job.

Mon, 25 Nov 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The Whys of the Inconveniences between an English Detective and a Turkish Dedektif Learning languages is for most of us, not an easy undertaking, mostly because it requires building new frameworks in our brains and lots of practice.
