How easy is it to communicate in English if I can’t speak the local language?
Many people in larger cities speak a foreign language although it might not be perfect, you can still communicate. But be prepared that not everyone will speak English, so it is good to know some of key phrases. Even if you only know the words for Hello, thank you and Goodbye, it will always be welcomed and appreciated by the locals. At the beginning of your program, you will receive a 10 hour crash course in Turkish to help you get started and learn the basics. Your coordinator will also be there for you during the program.
