Polished transcript:

Male Female

Unfortunately, I don't get to see my friends as often as I'd like. Since I moved back to Turkey, I've tried to reconnect with old friends from high school and university, but it's been difficult to rebuild those relationships. We've drifted apart, and it's hard to get back to where we were. I do have some friends from my neighborhood, and we see each other maybe twice a month, but that's about it.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

Unfortunately, not as much as I was expecting. Since I turned back to Turkey, I always try to catch my, uh, former friends from high school or from premier school, but unfortunately, we lost the connection a lot and it’s hard to reach the point again and creating a new friendship. So I have some friends from neighborhood, and we see each other maybe two times in a moment, but that’s it.
