My name is Abdelrahman Bakr. I am Egyptian. I will be studying Physical Therapy at GEDİK University. I am currently studying Turkish Preparatory. I need to learn Turkish before I start. Dr. Nerma ZAİMOVİC helped me learn the language. She is an excellent educator, as well as very kind and warm-hearted. I would like to express my gratitude to my teacher for what she has contributed to me and my friends in the language learning process, and I hope she will continue to inspire future generations for many years to come. I thank her very much for helping me.

My name is Alibek Khabiyev. I am from Kazakhstan. I am doing a scientific internship at Gedik University and Rimar Academy as part of the “Bolashak” program under the “500 Scientists” project. Under the guidance of Professor Nerma ZAİMOVİC, the Turkish Language Course allowed me to communicate fluently in Turkish, get to know Turkish culture better, and understand the education system here. The Turkish course was conducted entirely in Turkish in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Our teacher has an effective and unique teaching system, which made it possible to learn the intricacies of the language in a short time.

When I arrived, I didn’t know Turkish, but Dr. Nerma ZAİMOVİC’s lessons enabled me to learn Turkish for a free life in Turkey. My teacher teaches Turkish well. Even though she didn’t speak my language, she taught me to speak Turkish.

Dear Gedik University Team. While living with Turks, I gained experience in Turkish language classes aimed at preparing students for the real Turkish life. Dr. Nerma ZAİMOVİC made everything easy for me to find the right way to learn. She was present both online and in person. She ensured that even students who were not there had the same quality of information. I am personally grateful for her help.

I chose Turkey for my education and to live there. But it was really difficult when we didn’t know the language. In the 2021-2022 academic year, I studied the Turkish Preparatory Program at Istanbul Gedik University. We are very satisfied because it has a very good method. We learned Turkish very well because our teachers gave fun and energetic lessons. Learning Turkish well played a big role in my university choice. I am studying in the Architecture Department, and I am very happy that I no longer have any language problems. I made the right decision to learn in the right place.
