    Dani and the Dolphin 2

    In this episode, I walk you through the story about Dani and the Dolphin, translate it from Turkish to English (not word by word but just to give you the general idea). I then distinguish between two forms of past tense in Turkish (dı and mış). If you have any questions, or suggestions for future episodes, please find me on Instagram (meltem barcelona)
