| | Hi merdogan,
I have two doubts about the English:
1- "demand" in the first line seems to be a bit too heavy. Could it be a lighter verb?
2- "heartily" intensive. What do you mean by that?
really intensive? |

| | Hi merdogan 
This line sounds a little weird:
"...but I now have an interview with my cousin via camera, .."
What's an "interview via camera"?
Would it be "a video conference", "a video chat"?
"an interview" sounds like a "job interview"

| | Hi lilian
Camera means of couse a web-cam and it is a chat.
what do you say for this?
I really want to open my web-cam but I now using it to chat with my cousin , they are abroad. Where are you now, in Bosnia Herzegovina? I hope you had liked Turkey. My courses are really intensive but they are going very well.

| | OK merdogan so, you can say:
", but right now, I am using it in a chat with my cousins. They are abroad."
(If there is only one cousin the last sentence should read : s/he is abroad) |

| | o.k
but not cousins it is only a cousin.His cousin is with his friends. (yurt dışındalar) |

| | Well, merdogan, so if there is only one cousin (male), it should be : He is abroad.
"I am using it in a chat with my cousin. He is abroad."
It doesn't matter if that cousin is with friends abroad, since the last sentence refers to one person, the next is understood as referring to the same person, therefore should be sigular.
I hope you understand this point more easily than that "preposition issue".  |

| | hi lilian
o.k
Isn't "......yurt dışındalar." plural? |
| |

| | hi,
Merdogan it's right. İn source text "cousin" word is to singular and " yurt dısındalar = they are abroad" it's to plural.
Can be a politeness addressing. |

| | Well, that will be a problem since it sounds really wrong in English.
Perhaps the original is wrong.
At no time that "they" is justified. Nothing was said about them to make it possible understand who "they" are. See what I mean?  |

| | ".... dışındalar" means that his/her cousin is not alone but he/she is with his/her friends.
".....lar" means plural.
