Ruhr University Bochum – We received the following letter today with a request for publication a request we are happy to fulfil in the interest of our readers and users.

Perhaps you, whether as a business partner of Turkish companies or simply as someone interested in a thriving Turkey, would also like to learn the language!

"While interpreters are available to me in Turkey, knowledge of Turkish nonetheless enhances one's intercultural competence.

And that provides a clear advantage when dealing with Turkish business partners," says a 54-year-old graduate of the first intensive Turkish course at the LSI. In the spring of 2011, the LSI successfully launched its new course offering: INTENSIVE TURKISH. Due to the extremely positive response, it became clear while the course was still underway that an additional session needed to be added to the 2011 LSI course calendar:

The next basic Turkish course will take place from September 12 to 23, 2011.

This two-week intensive program (consisting of 7 hours of instruction plus 2–4 hours of independent study per day) is held in small groups, Monday through Friday. It is designed for beginners with no prior knowledge or only minimal familiarity with the language.

Further details can be found on the attached information sheet and on our website.

I would appreciate it if you could pass this information on to anyone in your network who might be interested. I am also happy to discuss this with you personally.

Kind regards,

Dr. Jochen Pleines
Executive Director
State Language Institute at Ruhr University Bochum (LSI)

By the way:

Public transport connections are available at several stops, all of which go by the name "Ruhr-Universität." There is a bus terminal at the Uni-Centre on the north side of Universitätsstraße. A second bus terminal is located south of Universitätsstraße "under the bridge" near the university administration building; however, this one is closed for several years while the transport structure undergoes renovation. The light rail station is located in the middle of Universitätsstraße. The three stop areas are connected to one another for pedestrians via the Dr.-Gerhard-Petschelt Bridge.
