Well, I would like to talk about my English speaking skills. I have been learning to speak English since 2007. I still struggle with this speaking skill because Turkish and English differ significantly in terms of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. For instance, we use the letter 'E' differently. I want to speak English because I need to improve my academic skills. I received a scholarship for my PhD funded by the Republic of Turkey, and this scholarship offered a broad PhD program. Now, I have a conditional offer from the Epidemiology Department in Rotterdam, Netherlands. I can handle English speaking better now because I have been here for three months, and I believe my English skills have really improved. However, I still want to enhance my English because I love the British accent and want to speak like native British speakers. I try shadowing exercises and watch British series to help with this. I am watching British shows to improve my accent and fluency.
