Istanbul Linguist and Your Turkish Language Guide

Let’s chase the hüzün in the language.

I grew up where the scent of simit mixes with old books and sea air. Language, to me, isn't just words—it's the echo of a place, the shape of feeling. I teach Turkish not from stiff pages, but from the rhythm of the streets, the poetry of Pamuk, and the laughter of students getting it just right. Come learn with me, and I'll show you how a suffix can hold a whole story, and how a long sentence can make your heart ache like a call to prayer at dusk.

What I'm Into: suffixes that cling like mussels, Nazım Hikmet’s verses, ferry deck lessons, the sound of seagulls and verbs, Orhan Pamuk’s hüzün
