Establishment of Education Abroad and Overseas Experience

A company is being established to provide overseas experience and foreign language skills to relatives:

In the meantime, the second and third-generation young managers of the family, who are educated in, for example, France and then employed in the overseas branch there, gain overseas experience. Consequently, understanding the business mentality of different countries is crucial. These are considered important for companies aiming to do international business. At the same time, ensuring that relative managers who are educated in the universities of that country and will be stationed in such a foreign country learn international affairs better in this subsidiary is ensured. In addition, advantages such as indefinite residence permits in that country or citizenship of that country should also be examined. Especially if citizenship of that country provides visa-free movement. In some countries, the university administrations of those countries take into account the successes achieved in university entrance exams in Turkey. For this reason, university entrance exams in Turkey cannot be ignored.

How to Learn a Language Effectively?

  • A foreign language education method should appeal to both visual and auditory perceptions. If an individual can learn 40% of words within 1 hour through visual perception and can retain 30% through auditory perception, when a method addressing both perceptions is used, this rate can increase up to 90%. In this way, the learning rate exceeds the sum of auditory and visual learning methods (40% + 30% = 70%). Additionally, it is more effective to place words into memory by adding pictures alongside them.
  • One should start with a learning system containing the most frequently used 2500 words. In this case, eventually, one can grasp 80% of a daily text. With the next most frequently used 2000 words, this rate increases to the 90s. Afterwards, with every additional 2000 words learned, this rate only increases by 2%. If words are learned together as vocabulary related to the same subject (e.g., utensils: fork, knife, spoon, etc.), learning becomes more effective. Learning the differences between similar words (e.g., running, walking, jumping, climbing, descending, ascending) enhances learning efficiency. Similarly, grouping opposite words (good, bad) together facilitates learning. It is more appropriate to learn the words of a language (around 2500) divided into textual, grammatical, and exercise-based topics.
  • After learning Turkish syntax and grammar, it becomes easier to learn grammar and syntax in a foreign language. It should be remembered that the syntax in Western languages is different from Turkish.
  • Revision, exercise, translation, reading, writing, speaking, and listening are all indispensable elements of learning together. A study unit should address all of these. Reviewing topics from a book with someone in a question-answer system every day brings one closer to speaking a foreign language.
  • It should be remembered that according to Plato, repetition is the mother of learning.
  • If a foreign language is learned and then set aside, it will be forgotten. A language is preserved and developed only by using it. Therefore, it is essential to continuously read articles on topics of interest, listen to and participate in conversations, listen to foreign television channels and films, and follow foreign magazines and newspapers to keep one’s foreign language skills sharp.
