TSR Turkish Society

if you compare turkish to chinese, korean, it is soo much easier, i am not arguing against you, as i agree with your point!

all i said was that turkish is hard due to its pronunciation by non-native speakers especially those who are learning a multitude of languages, like that polyglot kid in the youtube video, even you saw that he said some words wrong as he got confused and couldn't phonetically pronounce it.

maybe that lack of want to is because they were not exposed to it like we were and encouraged to speak it and heard other people speaking it straight from birth.

Also saying that our language is too is easy to learn, doesnt put much value on other people learning it, thus they think its easy and can learn it any time, so learning the turkish language isnt valued as much due to its easiness.

WOAHHH!! it sounds like you look A LOT like me!!!

Not technically Turkish but engaged to a lovely one

and been learning my Turkish words!

Is that enough to join?

c'mon.... /peer pressure

I think it sounds nice which is why I want to see it

If we ignore perspectives then I'd argue that it's also easier than French, German, Russian, etc. The only reason that French and Spanish may be easier, from say an English perspective, is because English has a lot more in common with those languages whereas Turkish is completely alien (in terms of the vocabulary and grammar, not the sounds.)



This is where you lose me completely. I have just explained to you why Turkish could be difficult to learn (because it's alien). But the sounds and the pronounciation are easier than any other language that I know of, say for an English speaker. Maybe you'd care to actually ****ing explain to me why the sounds and pronounciations are 'difficult'?

You keep providing me with the same single infernal answer without arguing with my actual point.

Here's an example of another person who has been learning Turkish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvPSF2jKpE0.

He's clearly put dedicated his time to it, as opposed to the polygot you linked to me who obviously divides his time between all the different languages that he knows. I doubt Turkish is very high up his list of priorities. I think you're being a bit harsh too (like most Turks, which really annoys me actually), because I thought his Turkish was quite good, given the circumstances (i.e. he's learning 20 ****ing languages simultaneously, cut him some slack!)





What are you talking about? That's the same with every foreign language. That's why it's called a 'foreign language'! Most people who want to study, say Spanish, did not hear it from birth!....Grrrr.



No, Turkish should be valued for other reasons. As I've already mentioned it's one of (if not the) most 'logical' language. Also it's exoticism, being completely unrelated to Indo-European languages, since it stems from the Altaic language family.



So either you look like a girl or she looks like a boy. I'm inclined to think that it's the former.

listen, i dont know whether you find arguing online on internet forums entertaining but i dont know why your trying to turn this into an arguement -_-

maybe it gets you excited but tbh i dont care, whether people find learning turkish difficult or easy is completely subjective and depends on the individual for instance on this website

and those are his reasons, as you can see this chap finds it difficult i am a harsh critique, so no i am not going to cut him that much slack

btw there is no need to swear, and lose your temper for this petty topic in which you want to create an argument for.

How cool that there's a Turkish thread I'm Turkish as well and I've recently joined TSR. I'll definitly be checking this thread

Course! We're mostly a friendly bunch (*coughs* not so much RamocitoMorales and S-man10 *coughs*)

As the self proclaimed social inspector member of this thread, I deserve to see too.

I'm in a good mood because I finally finished my research proposal and I already got my grant money for it *

* even though it probably won't work

I refuse to believe that


I'm 5'3 as well

This height has many advantages

I hope to God that you're a girl, because I'd hate to think that you were a guy who was stealing our women...
