Personal comments
Language of instrucion was English and as my English was already pretty good at the time i came to Istanbul, i didn't have any difficulties with it. Turkish however proved to be a little trickier. As most people in Istanbul don't speak English i forced myself to learn Turkish. In the beginning i helped myself by learning basics like numbers (for bargaining!) and saying hello and the likes.
