Attention Kazakh speakers/readers – I have written a short story in Kazakh for my Advanced Kazakh course, and I welcome your comments on it. You can find it at my personal blog, and here is the link. Forgive the shameless plug, faithful Registanis. I have my Kazakh midterm tomorrow, and I can use all the good karma I can get.
