I recieved a new tutoring partner Ibrahim Dere. He is from Turkey. On our first meeting we discuss the some of the challenges he felt he wanted to work on. He mostly is concerned with his listening and speaking. After listening to him speak. He appears to be around a high level three or low four. The only thing I really noticed was his fluency. He is currently attending FSU he is preparing for the Master of Public Administration. Back in Turkey he works as a government energy expert. He is here on a grant from his government. Ibrahim said his name means father of society. His last name Dere, means creek. He told me that his country just recently began using surnames. It was a legislation passed by the government that enforced that. Prior to this new legislation he was known as Ibrahim son of Elijah. Elijah of course is his fathers named. His father chose the surname Dere because of the town they live in. Hmm I wonder what I would have my last name be if I had to choose one. LOLSoon we will be preparing for his final, he says that most of the difficultly in paper writing is the translating online is so time consuming.
