Today I met with my learning partner Albar and our topic was one of my two main goals. We learned about soccer. We both together came up with words that are part of the game for example referee, uniform, ball and other words I should know so I could understand during a game on TV or a sports article.
We came up with a lot of words and he also translated for me some phrases I could use like for example the referee showed him a yellow card. Good thing I already learned the colors. Many words are similar to english words but most of them are written differently. They just sound the same and they ofcourse have the same meaning as english.
In the last 10 minutes of our meeting we watched a video on YouTube of Galatasaray and another turkish team. The commentator was speaking Turkish and he was speaking really fast but I did get some of the words we talked about earlier like goal, shoot and yellow card. Galatasaray was in front by 1-0 but in extra time the other team tied the game. The commentator said that Galatasaray was struggling for the top in the beginning of the game and I guess this draw was really not a good result for them.
Next time we said to continue and watch more videos because it is a good way to learn the phrases and try to keep up even though they speak really fast.
