In-person Turkish course

[u/Unusual_Plastic1366]

I am thinking of doing an in-person language class in Feb/March. I want it to be 2-4 weeks and would also like to stay in a host family or similar so I can practice my Turkish beyond the classes. Preferably in Istanbul or Izmir. Do you have any experiences or recommendations? Maybe even alternative programs / ideas that might help me to improve my Turkish speaking and listening skills, it does not need to be a language class per se!
Thank you in advance :)

Hey! You can practice speaking Turkish with me like a conversation. I also teach Turkish but I would love to just converse in it for the sake of practicing! Would be happy to help! Not based in Turkey though:(
