Hello, I'm an Engineering student from Turkey. Other than my mother language, I can speak excellent English and German. I'm now planning to learn another foreign language. What would you recommend as a 3rd language for an engineer? Thanks.

I would recommend French. It's relatively easy to learn and it's used all over Africa, the islands, France, belgium, switzerland, the maghreb, and even parts of Canada and the southern USA
6 :
Mandarin Chinese, ä¸æ–‡ï¼ˆæ™®é€š). it's a difficult language at first, but aren't all languages? I'm personaly studying it myself, and due to the fact the primary language if the world is chinese(mandarin), then english, then (i beilieve) Arabic.
7 :
Chinese or Spanish, lots of people speak those. I don't know what languages are good to lean particularly for engineers though

Should I kiss my hosts in cheek when I go to Spain?
Should I kiss my hosts in cheek when I go to Spain?
It sounds really funny, I know. Let me explain. I'm from Turkey and I'm going to be a guest of a family in Spain for a while, with a student exchange.In Turkey, when we meet with someone, we kiss them in cheek. Does it sound weird?Can they feel indisposed?Is there a tradition like that in the other countries?

yes this is normal in europe, you should kiss once on each cheek. Only in holland people kiss 3 times, one cheek, other cheek, first cheek. Everywhere else in central europe (including spain) its one cheek, other cheek, Finished. :-)
2 :
Yes it is a sign of respect and is very normal in European countries. As you are in the US we shake hands and if your in China/Japan you bow to show respect and greeting.
3 :
You have to , its a must trust me!! LOL... you kiss both cheeks OK??
4 :
You should take into consideration how they approach you in general. If they keep distant and silent, don't do it. But in Spain it is more likely that you will get a warm and friendly greeting with hugs and kisses from them. I don't think you need to worry about it, just be yourself.
5 :
Be sure to ask them which cheeks, before you do!
6 :
Yes, definitely. if not you will be considered unfriendly.

canadians studying in greece-student visa question?
canadians studying in greece-student visa question?
I am a Canadian citizen currently studying in Turkey. Some time ago I was invited by a Greek university by the Erasmus programme of the European Community. I am to stay in Greece for 6 months continuously. I wen to the Greek Consulate here in Turkey to get a student visa. However the Greek authorities told me that they could not issue me such a visa. I can only stayin in Greece for three months only with an entrance stamp. And I cannot exit and re-enter Greece unless I spend an other 3 months in some other country. If I were in Canada then I could go to the Greek Consulate in Toronto and apply for a student visa.. Since I'm in Turkey, can I send my passport by mail and get a student visa or can I ask the Canadian consulate here in Turkey to do all this for me?

I suggest you do the following three steps in parallel: 1. Contact the University that invited you, explain your situation, and ask for their recommendation. Ask them also to issue a specific letter of invitation for you, to use at the Greek Consulate/Embassy in Istanbul. This is your best road. [Ask if this can be arranged in Greece, but not likely, as Visas typically have to be arranged in advance.] 2. Sure, go ahead and ask the Canadian Consulate for assistance. However, this is not really their job, so understand that they may not really be able to help. 3. Call up Greek Embassies in other countries nearby, e.g Italy, and ask if they can do it, and if so, what would it take. Cite that you have A LETTER OF INVITATION from the Greek University. Once it's explained over the phone, go visit the embassy in person, bringing with you all the necessary documents. Good luck!
