Dilimizi ogrenmek isteyen ne kadar cok insan varmis meger gururlandim abi

I've gotten to B1 level just by the help of free things on the internet but the trickiest part so far is speaking irl. that's why I've been talking to google gemini. i just open live voice chat and end up talking for hours😂😂

It is important to use the language actively.

These suggestions actually work in learning Any language. My husband’s parents were deaf & I wanted him to teach me sign language. My husband said the best way to learn was hang around deaf themselves. So while my husband(translator) was at work, some deaf friends our age would come to visit…in 3 months I was fluent to where most people actually thought I was deaf. If you learn from hanging around native speakers you acquire their accent, slang, shortcuts, and daily syntax. It’s worth it, so great advice! I no longer have time or circumstances to learn a language but I’m picking up bits of Turkish from shows I watch anyway. ❤️🇨🇦

My Turkish friends force me to speak English, instead of helping me with my Turkish they acknowledge me as their Hoca who’s improving their English whilst my Turkish speaking skills remain at basic 🥀🥀🥀🥀🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

Turkish friends with little children. Perfect way to help learn Turkish.

Good tip. And watching Turkish series, with subtitles.

When there was an earthquake, my neighbors invited me into their shop because it was far from the deprem. The shop did shake, but it wasn't as intense as at our home.
At that time I was speaking Turkish language all the time. This method really works.
Yes, you will miss some grammar, but you will hear and understand what people are saying much more than by just watching movies or learning the language by the books.
Thank you for the video!
Çok teşekkür ederim!!!

I learned so much Turkish by watching dizi on YouTube with the English subtitles built-in and then the auto-generated Turkish subtitles at the same time. Helped give me a lot of exposure to how Turkish is actually used and gives me ideas for later conversations

I follow several Turks on Twitter. I've gone from having to translate every tweet I read (and all my replies) to being able to understand the gist of the conversation and just having to look up new words. It's not a quick fix but it's certainly helped me, along with traditional learning methods.

It´s not just the friends aspect that makes this easy and effective, it´s the situational context that makes you memorize things better. It activates more areas of the brain that just plain textbook learning. Need to add though, situational learning works on the INPUT side, i.e. listening & understanding. It doesn´t improve your output, ie. speaking (unless someone corrects you), but it does provide a chance to try out what you´ve already learned.

AIESEC MENTIONED!!! i'm going to volunteer to turkiye (with AIESEC) between the end of july and end of august, and i've been watching your videos - they're really helpful for engaging with turkish language! thank you!

First of all, I always enjoy your videos: thank you. You have identified some of the problems that native English speakers have in learning Turkish (or indeed any other language, for that matter), so thanks for that.

Thanks for the few volunteer organisations that you mentioned - I will check them out.

I just want to add some comments on the content of this video.

First, I totally agree with you that an effective and fun way to learn a language is through immersion - having friends willing/happy to speak with you in the target language. Indeed, possibly my best spoken language is a language in which I had a partner willing to speak to me in the target language, plus an extended family of non-English speakers and friends - though I also did a lot of the hard stuff, too: textbooks and audio support.

However, with respect, your illustration as a 19-year old partially shows the problem that native English speakers have. Note that you went to Hungary but weren't picking up the national language of that country through immersion, but rather you were learning some other language, namely English. Note also that you went there as a native Turkish speaker, rather than a native English speaker. Presumably the international crowd that you hung out with in Hungary included a mix of native (L1) and non-native speakers (L2). Given the group dynamics of L1 speakers of many different languages mixing together, imagine how difficult it would be for native English speakers in that group to practice or learn a language other than English.

Now imagine the native English speaker spending time in Türkiye. Like it or not, it isn't easy for people to make friends instantly, and the process certainly doesn't get easier with age. The reality is that Turks that are most likely to want to engage with foreigners for lengthy periods are going to be internationally-minded ones (for want of a better phrase) and overwhelmingly these people are going to have a certain level of proficiency in English. Due to the school systems in the respective countries, it is likely that the internationally-minded Turkish person will already have English at, say, B1 or B2, whereas the native English speaker will be starting from scratch, say A0 or A1, and in those circumstances it is unlikely that the English speaker will get anywhere fast through immersion.

Second, you have said - probably correctly - that some Turks may be shy/nervous about their speaking abilities in English and secretly wish that the native English speaker practising their Turkish would extend the conversation. But, with respect, therein lies the problem. In order for the native English speaker to be able to extend the conversation - to get the second, third, fourth sentences of dialogue going - they need to have a certain body of language under their control. (Incidentally, your 'common turkish questions and answers' is a help in getting such a foundation). For some reason, I am finding it harder to get that basic foundation in Turkish compared to my experience in a number of other languages.

Now, I learning turkish and english language 😊

My Turkish friend Tima is speaking English with me even we were meeting a lot when she was in Canada

I love this!  So true! It is only when my husband and I would spent time in Quebec, Canada, my French improved.  Nothing like ordering food for survival will make you learn another language.

Çok teşekkür

Birkaç Turk'le turkçe olarak konusmaya çalistim ve her seferinde ayni sey, muhabbeti açmam lazim ben, onlar hiçbir soru soruyor, eger ben bir soru sormazsam muhabbet bitiyor, iste

That's not how it works. Without a good grasp of grammar, vocabulary and listening and reading skills it's impossible not to translate sentences in your head. Things will come automatically ones you did all the previous things listed. You can't expect someone to hold a conversation when they have zero knowledge of a language. This statement always comes from the ones who actually know the language (native or learned it for years) and keep saying "see it's easy". It's insensitive and incorrect to assume you'll learn a language in 2 months. Besides people learn in different ways and there is not only 1 way fits all.
Majority of rude Turkish people they're rude because they're impatient. Even amongst themselves. Maybe it's the stress, that's why they chain smoke I assume.
If you go sit on a bench and this old lady comes sitting next to you and start talking about her problems, you're not gonna say merhaba. You'll just smile, pretend to understand and say some random gibberish that might suit the situation like "hadi yaa" or something like that.
