People no longer learn languages because they need to. They do not want to consume language teaching content that only teaches them how to go to the supermarket, buy a dress, or make an appointment at a hospital. That is why I created a podcast series and this video is made out of an episode in that series.
In this Intermediate Turkish listening practice, I talked about the hijab ban in Turkey’s universities which I thought would be a very interesting topic for #Turkishlearners. It affected #Turkish society a lot and caused many difficulties for some people.
If I was born a few years earlier, I was going to be one of those victims of this ban. I remember thinking about it in high school and canceling my university plans. I was lucky that this rule was removed when I was still in high school.
That is why this topic means a lot to me and that is why I wanted to talk about it. I have neither political nor religion-related purposes for making this video. However, if it still disturbs you, you are free to go learn how to do grocery shopping in Turkish.
