‘THE EMPEROR’ FATİH TERİM
‘THE EMPEROR’ FATİH TERİM
Nowadays, there is a
popular video on
Youtube. Former Turkey National
Team, current Galatasaray S.K
coach Fatih Terim
is speaking in
English after national
match in press
conference and trying
to explain something
although he has
a smattering of
English. He can’t explain
himself clearly,but the
important point in
this video is
he has a
self-confidence.I watched the
video from start
to end and
I liked his
way of speeking.
Then, I
looked at the
comment below of this
video and I
saw almost everybody
critisize him negatively. I’m sure
some of them
speaks English worse
than Fatih Hodja
or don’t know
and others didn’t learned
this language in
their mothers’ womb
although they know. They
learned English after
their 10-15 years
education or going
to abroad and
living there. When we
looked Fatih Hodja,
he hadn’t a
chance like them. He didn’t
go to university
because of his
football career and
we can’t expect
from a man
who didn’t go
to university speak
English fluently. He started
to learn it
after his 50’s
and I think
for a such
man, he speak English
quite good. In fact, we
can learn something
from this speech. For
example I learned
how ‘though’ is pronounciated.
Also, In spite
of our dislikes of
Fatih Hodja’s English, he
is going to
represent our country
throughout the process of its nomination
to 2020 Olympic
Games thanks to
his fluent English. We
can infer from
that there is
no sportsman or
woman who can
speak English as
fluently as Fatih
Hodja. This fact is
clear ,also, from about
one million people
who had watched the video. Perhaps, this is
the reason why
we call him
as ‘ the
emperor’.
