A Little Bit About Me
Hello!
I am Mert, the founder of LinguLion, a community language tutor for English/Turkish and a software engineer. I lived in different parts of Turkey until the end of my teenage years, and then, I decided to move to the UK. I have a mixed background that helped me experience different cultures. Throughout the years, I developed learning methods and motivation sources to overcome the challenges I faced. These methods worked well and I managed to fit in fully both British and Turkish communities and found a respectable job in a highly respected organisation.
My aim is to help aspiring learners to improve their English or Turkish skills to become confident listeners and more natural speakers.
You might be frustrated because you've got more thoughts to say, you just cannot find the words!
You might be concerned about making mistakes, afraid of looking or sounding silly when you speak English or Turkish.
You are questioning if you are too old to learn a new language!
You might feel difficult to understand the British or Turkish culture!
Who can teach better than someone who experienced all the challenges you may face?
I know what the difficulties are for learning a new language as I had to experience myself. Not only did I learn how to improve my communication skills, but also I had opportunities to spot the similarities and differences between languages and cultures. In this blog, I will help you teach the language; moreover, I will help you understand both sides' culture, traditions, and aspects.
