Okay, like I said before, I am from Russia, and my father had a new job in Turkey, and that's why we moved there. The first time I was there, it wasn't really pleasant because I didn't know the language very well, so it was kind of hard for me to understand what other people were saying. However, I managed to overcome it by just listening to speech and memorizing words. I used to watch a TV show that actually helped me understand the language better. Since we moved, I was in the second grade, and I pretty much started the third grade after months of learning the new language. So the first year wasn't really pleasant. However, by the second year, I knew the language, and I did pretty well on pretty much every test score.
