Tell students you would like to share your personal feelings with them: When I first moved to Istanbul, 3 years ago, I was sad to leave my beautiful home in Greece, but I felt excited to start a new life in a new country. In the beginning, I had one very big problem: I didn't speak Turkish! I went to a Turkish course, but I always got so nervous to speak Turkish outside the classroom. Everyone spoke Turkish so quickly, I didn't understand anybody! I felt confused because I didn't know the streets or areas. My parents felt very worried because I was far from my family. But now I have many friends and I live in nice home. I learned the metro, bus, tramway and ferry routes so I don't get confused. Istanbul is a very big city, so I never feel bored! I'm really feeling happy here!
