HesenAbout
Ez Hesen im — I am Hesen
My name is Hesen Filitoglu. Kurmanji is my mother tongue — the language of my childhood, my family, my history.
After a Master's degree in Kurdish Language and Literature from Bingöl University in Turkey, recognized by ENIC-NARIC in France, I settled in Rouen, where I have worked since 2020 as a Kurmanji teacher and, since 2021, as a social and medical interpreter.
