“My Turkish Preparatory Program experience at Istanbul Medipol University was not only about learning a language, but also about adapting to a new city and culture. Classroom interactions, trips, projects, presentations, and the stories we read all contributed to improving my Turkish, which I started learning from scratch. Making friends from different cultures gave me the confidence to communicate. The preparatory year was an important period of learning and personal growth for me.”

“When I came to Türkiye, learning a new language and adapting to a different culture was both exciting and intimidating. Thanks to the support and guidance of my teachers throughout the Turkish Preparatory Program, my fears gradually disappeared. Through classes, activities, and new friendships, I improved my Turkish and gained a strong foundation for my university education.”

“The Turkish Preparatory Program was a wonderful experience for me. I learned to use Turkish not only at school but also in my daily life. Through speaking activities, games, and the sincere support of my teachers, I improved my Turkish day by day. Today, being able to communicate confidently in Turkish with people in a foreign country is largely thanks to the Turkish Preparatory Program.”

“When I first came to Istanbul, I was worried because I did not know Turkish. Communicating with the people around me was very difficult. Thanks to the Turkish Preparatory Program, my concerns gradually turned into confidence. I began using Turkish in different settings through what I learned in class. The Turkish Preparatory Program prepared me not only for my academic life but also for this city, which once felt unfamiliar to me.”

“When I came to Türkiye, I did not speak any Turkish and knew very little about Turkish people and culture. This made me quite anxious. Through the Turkish Preparatory Program, I gradually developed my language skills. I practiced speaking in Turkish through the speaking clubs, discovered Turkish culture more closely through educational trips, and adapted to the city more easily with the support of my teachers.”
