Hello there! I’m Eylül (aka Lulu)

Learning languages, telling tales, and maybe getting lost — a little.

Come see where it leads.

Welcome to my corner of the internet

where languages aren’t just studied, they’re lived. I’m Eylül, a multilingual explorer, literature lover, and aspiring academic with a suitcase full of stories and a mind full of languages.

Here,I share practical language learning tips that actually work, reflections on literature that moves me, and glimpses into the cultures, books, and places that shape how I see the world. Whether you’re a fellow polyglot-in-progress, a bookworm, or just someone curious about language and life — you’re in the right place.

Join me as I learn, teach, wander, read, write, and sometimes just pause to enjoy the view

ABOUT ME

It all started in middle school, when I discovered that TV shows existed in foreign languages. I was flabbergasted — and completely hooked. My curiosity led me into a world where I didn’t understand a single word, but somehow, I wanted more.

My name is Eylül –

though some people call me Lulu or Lülü. I’m a linguistics and French literature student at Galatasaray University, based in Istanbul.

Over the years, people have often asked me how I learned languages and what sparked my interest. Now, I finally have a space to share my story — and, hopefully, to make language learning more accessible through the lens of culture, storytelling, and practical tips.

If you mix a little literature with travel and culture, and use languages as the sauce — that’s where you’ll find me.
