Canadian Family thinking of moving to Turkey

Hi and welcome to the forum Andy!

well, i can answer only one of ur questions. there is just a few universities fully speaking english. otherwise, there is no english speaking high schools or elementary schools or anything. they only have english language classes. but thats all.. in most of the cities, u will rarely find ppl speaking english "fluently". sorry for that..

oh, just found a link for the tax treaty between canada and turkey. you can read the whole agreement from here :

The international schools have English speaking ones but are very expensive. There are some Christian schools, but people seem to do a lot of home schooling. Schools are not a terribly easy subject so it seems.

Some Turkish-English schools (half and half)

Definitely nothing in the country side.

Hi Andy,

Do you mean English schools for children to attend? Or schools teaching English to adults as a job possibility?

I live in Didim and my friends who have children, send them to local schools where they learn very quickly to speak Turkish! We also have a language academy.

As this is a tourist resort, nearly everyone speaks English. Its only when you venture further afield that there may be a problem. However, Turks are the most friendly and hospitable people Ive ever met who will go out of their way to help you any way they can.

Our Children are 1.5 and 3 years old so we would be looking at school for them to attend. We would prefer lessons to be taught in English or English and Turkish. We want to be sure they will learn and speak fluent English.

Thanks

Hi Andy,

Bless, they are very young :-) I guess one way to do that would be through private English lessons, as well as attending a Turkish School. Private lessons are of course much more economical here.

A couple of places we were looking at are Alanya and Antalya. Do you have any information on what these 2 cities are like ?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

Not really for schooling I don't. Antalya is big favourite with Russian Tourists and in Alanya there are a lot of German. So much so that the staff in the hotels tend to speak Turkish, Russian and German as opposed to English like they do here.

Ive got a couple of friends up that way so I'll ask them if they know anything about the schooling in those areas

Excellent.

Thanks for the Help
