Thank you for the suggestion.I've tried that app before, but I encountered too many bot accounts and malicious individuals on it.Therefore, I especially prefer to keep them as text and voice recordings via email.Those who aren't really serious about it don't continue after a few practices.However, since social media platforms with photos and videos are generally active, language practice eventually turns into relationship practice.

My main goal here is to practice the language. I'm looking for people I can communicate with to practice the language, without anyone invading my personal space or me invading anyone else's.

 

I am a native Turkish speaker who actively uses English, Russian, and German, and understands Arabic, Greek, and Bulgarian.

I am looking for colleagues and language partners, especially for language practice (voice recording and writing).To correct pronunciation errors, answer cultural and grammatical questions, and share resources, you can contact me via the email address below.

English Practices

As a native Turkish speaker, I started to read Paul Auster's the New York trilogy. I'm using a voice recorder while I was reading. From sentence to sentence I am recording my voice to my voice recorder to compare it with the native speakers audio. By doing so, I hope I can correct my pronunciation mistakes.

German Practices

And also I am learning and refreshing my memory in German language. When I was in high school I learned German, because we had a German lessons. After 19 years I start the again to my German practices.

Using Anki flashcard application with sentence decks and vocabulary decks. At the same time I am practicing on LingQ German. And I bought dealing with books in German language ( German and Turkish ). I started my practices 79 days ago and now I can easily understand intermediate level voice records and the texts. I am not checking any of Grammar rules in German. Just trying to understand translating full sentence and using echo shadowing technique.

In Anki application I am using four different colors in my flashcards. Feminine articles are pink, masculine articles are blue, non-gender articles are green, plural forms are yellow. I'm adding photos if available. And using in text to speech features of Anki.

Russian

A 2014 I was living in Russia. I stayed there one and half year. I have already B1 level Russian. To keep it fresh sometimes I watch YouTube videos such as уральские пельмени, Comedy Club. And using echo shadowing method. When I was watching I am also recording the interesting parts to my voice recorder.

Yes, there are those who are trying to develop it independently, but they can't achieve the desired results quickly enough due to the scoring system.There are those developing vaccines independently, and those conducting genome projects independently, but ultimately, it all comes down to funding.

But here too, it comes down to money and power. Funding for scientific research is provided by wealthy governments and mega-corporations like FAANG and Neuralink (founded by Elon Musk). This dictates the goals for scientific research. Studies are conducted in areas where it is desired that what is possible be achieved. Currently, billions of dollars are being invested in projects such as artificial intelligence systems, robotics, and genome projects involving cell and tissue regeneration. The claim that science is independent is completely unfounded.

Nobody asked the real question? Why especially do they need to store data on DNA?

Human being wrote the data onto rocks, ceramics, papirus, paper, cd, harddisk... But what has happened? why now DNA? Is it the part of a transhuman project (evulotion circle : genesis - humanism - posthumanism - transhumanism)? Do we need to combine machines with organic parts?

Looking at the investments made in computer technology(ai, cloud etc.) , electronics(microchip industry, REEs etc. ), and biology(genom projects) over the last 40 years, I see that someone desperately wants transhumanism.
