Sarah has managed to make her first phone call in Turkish to the boiler man when our hot water stopped working - OK, so when he was outside our flat calling her on the phone to let him in she didn't quite get it and he had to wait for one of our neighbours to let him into the block before he could physically knock on our door, but we are getting better - slowly!
