One of the aspects of my job that I love the most is the chance to mentor International Students. I currently mentor a student from Japan.
Over the past summer, I became the "American Mom" to two young women from Turkey (yes, I also taught them to speak some Spanish!).
I look forward to hearing from these Turkish students, who have returned home to further their university studies. Both are Mechanical Engineering majors. Although Turkey is not currently at war, Syria is its neighbor and the political situation there is volatile. Bloodshed has already spilled over the border.
You might enjoy learning the place names of other countries as they are expressed in Spanish. You will find a nice list below of country names along with the word used to express nationality.
Use the Spanish verb
ser to express origen.
I am from Spain.
Soy de España.
I am Spanish.
Soy espñola.
Ceren (pronounced like the English "Jedda") is from Turkey.
Ceren es de Turquía.
She is Turkish.
Es turca.
