Speak Turkish with Emir
Native Turkish Speaker • B.Sc. (c) Psychology, Istanbul Atlas University
Details
Practice Turkish 1-on-1 with Emir Baghaki — a native Turkish speaker from Izmir, currently studying Psychology at Istanbul Atlas University, with a passion for cultural exchange and helping learners discover the real Turkey behind the language. Emir's sessions are conversations, not lessons. He creates a dynamic, engaging space where you can talk about anything — travel, music, daily life in Istanbul, Turkish culture, or whatever you are genuinely curious about. His background in psychology means he understands how to keep learners motivated and how to build the kind of speaking confidence that makes real conversation possible. Whether you are planning a trip to Turkey, living here and wanting to connect more deeply with locals, learning Turkish for professional reasons, or simply fascinated by the language, Emir adapts every session to your interests and goals. He is particularly skilled at helping learners move past textbook Turkish into the natural, everyday language that Turks actually speak. As a traveler, photographer, and longboarder, Emir brings an adventurous, open-minded energy to every session. He has lived in both Izmir and Istanbul and knows both sides of Turkish culture well — the traditional and the modern, the formal and the everyday. His sessions are for learners who want to practice Turkish with someone who is genuinely excited to share the language. Book a session with Emir and start speaking Turkish the way it is actually spoken.
