I am Sissi. I am a translator, language teacher and a PhD candidate in Byzantine studies and I graduated in Turkology. I study languages in general and my special field is Turkic linguistics. </span> </p> <p class="moze-justify"><span lang="en-US"><b>Why did I start? </b></span> </p> <p class="moze-justify"><span lang="en-US">As a student, I often had difficulty understanding what my teachers were explaining. And it may surprise you, but I hated languages and linguistics in school! But somehow I happened to become a language teacher after university. I didn’t want to bore my students and disappoint them or make them hate languages. That’s why I decided to create funny materials for them. I started telling them interesting, funny stories. In this way, I created my method of teaching. I apply the same method to explain difficult linguistic definitions and concepts with the aim of making the linguistics available and easily comprehensive to everyone. I tell colorful stories which contain fantastic elements. My stories are remarkable and that’s why they are easy to remember. Beyond the definitions, I deal with current linguistic issues and I review interesting articles and books that help people to understand certain topics more deeply. </span> </p> <p class="moze-justify"><span lang="en-US"><b>How did I start?</b></span><span lang="en-US"> </span> </p> <p class="moze-justify"><span lang="en-US">Well, I had to prepare a short presentation of a linguistic definition for a course in the university (it was the definition of loanword). I had only 3 minutes to explain what loanword means in a way that would be clear to everyone. This is how the idea was born. After some time, I made my very first video of the same definition. After that the second came, the third, the fourth and so on. </span> </p> <p class="moze-justify"><span lang="en-US"><b>My belief. My goal:</b></span></p> <p style=""><span lang="en-US">I love creating videos about linguistic topics because linguistics is my passion. I love it because I love linguistics and I love creativity. I believe what I am doing, has a particular value. I believe that somebody will appreciate it. I believe that I can contribute to a better understanding of linguistic topics and issues with my videos.</span></p> <p style=""><span lang="en-US"><span style="color: rgb(229, 81, 51);"><b>Welcome to Glotters!&nbsp; &nbsp;</b><a class="moze-button-large" href="/video-blog/" target="_blank" style=""><b></b><span class="moze-gigantic"><b>My Videoblog</b></span><b></b></a><br></span></span></p></div>
