Hi Gang,

I'd posted here a couple years ago, but still haven't made it out of Canada...I'm 50, born in Turkey, can speak the language decently, and have made a couple trips this year to Istanbul, each one with a new girlfriend (marriage ended 19 months ago).

I was considering going there for certain in 2009, after I get the certification...30 years in industry and business, I have teaching and training experience, not language though.

2 weeks ago, while in Istanbul, girlfriend and I took the Metro from Levent to Taksim, and at the Taksim station, met the Principal (?) of the Dialogue Language Schools, who had a booth set up underground. We chatted for 20 minutes and he seemed genuinely interested in both of us, the fact I was turkish/english bi-lingual, and girlfriend is fluent in French, as she is originally from Quebec.

Any thoughts on this school?

Thanks!

Not sure if a language school like that will pay enough for a living here in Istanbul and I doubt they will organise your paper work.
