Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Turkish learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations.

Lesson focus

In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question Where do you live? In Turkish this is
Ece: Nerede yaşıyorsunuz?
The first word in the question is
Ece: Nerede
Gina: meaning where in English.
Ece: (Slow, by syllable) Nerede
Gina: Listen again and repeat.
Ece: Nerede
{Pause}
Gina: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is
Ece: yaşıyorsunuz
Gina: meaning you live.
Ece: (Slow, by syllable) yaşıyorsunuz
Gina: Now repeat.
Ece: yaşıyorsunuz
{Pause}
Listen to the entire question and repeat.
Ece: Nerede yaşıyorsunuz
{pause}
Gina: You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies. Master the following pattern and responses to the question Where do you live??
Ece: İstanbul'da yaşıyorum.
Gina: I live in Istanbul. Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. Ece: (Slow) İstanbul'da yaşıyorum.
{pause}
Gina: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word:
Ece: İstanbul'da
Gina: means in Istanbul.
Ece: (Slow, by syllable) İstanbul'da
Gina: Now repeat
Ece: İstanbul'da
{Pause}
Gina: And next
Ece: yaşıyorum.
meaning I live.
Ece: (Slow, by syllable) yaşıyorum.
A: Now repeat.
Ece: yaşıyorum.
{Pause}
Gina: Listen to the speaker say, I live in Istanbul, and then repeat.
Ece: İstanbul'da yaşıyorum.
{pause}
Gina: To use a different phrase, replace Istanbul with in Shanghai.
Ece: Şangay'da
Gina: in Shanghai
Ece: (slow) Şangay'da (regular) Şangay'da
Gina: Listen to the phrase again, this time with in Shanghai
Ece: Şangay'da yaşıyorum.
Gina: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace "in Istanbul". Say I live in Shanghai.
{pause}
Ece: Şangay'da yaşıyorum.
Gina: To expand on the pattern, replace in Shanghai with in Ankara.
Ece: Ankara'da
Gina: in Ankara
Ece: (slow) Ankara'da (regular) Ankara'da
Gina: Listen to the phrase again, this time with in Ankara
Ece: Ankara'da yaşıyorum.
Gina: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace "in Shanghai". Say I live in Ankara.

Gina: To expand on the pattern, replace in Ankara with in Moscow.
Ece: Moskova'da
Gina: in Moscow
Ece: (slow) Moskova'da (regular) Moskova'da
