In a speech about Turkish, Johan Vandewalle, who stated that he sees the language as software and prefers to learn foreign languages ​​not only scientifically but also by living, expresses the uniqueness of Turkish with the following words: “If Chomsky had learned Turkish in his youth, then modern linguistics would have been shaped according to Turkish, not English.”

Vandewalle’s following words about mathematics and Turkish are also very striking: “There can be mathematics in languages ​​other than Turkish. This is a situation that depends on the absence of unnecessary rules in the language, the ability to combine the rules and apply them without any limits. The structure of Turkish is like chess. A young child can learn the rules of chess in a short time. Then he can continue to play chess throughout his life and rise to a very high level. Although the rules are simple, the game is not simple. Accordingly, the rules of Turkish are simple and the opportunities to play are limitless.”

Ben de Türkçe öğreniyorum. Çok teşekkür ederim Steve ve kolay gelsin!

as I native Turkish speaker, I can tell you Mr Steven, you're pronunciation of Turkis really remarkable!

Kendi çabasıyla birşeyler öğrenen insanlara hayranlık duyuyorum.

Your Turkish pronunciation is impressive. Keep it up!

steve türkçeni dinlediğimde çok mutlu oldum.. harikasın.. bunun,  bir çeşit dünya vatandaşı olma, bize değer verme, kapsayıcı bir yaklaşım gösterme gibi yönleriyle çok değerli olduğunu düşünüyorum..

I met an American family in Eugene, Oregon. They had moved to Germany with their 4 children. There they were learning German, also creating a Calendar, based on their Church's teachings. They happened to live in an apartment building where a Turkish family resided. They became friends. And in one year both the husband and the wife had learned almost perfect Turkish. Their children had learned it in a shorter time span, playing with the Turkish Children. Learning languages is a magical thing.

As Turkish, our children had hard time to learn English because of the major differences. When I was in highschool my english teacher said to me that I have to think in English before I speak. Because if I speak without thinking, I use Turkish as a base. When you use Turkish as a base you make lots of grammatical errors.

So, all I can say to new Turkish learners, think Turkish. You have to proggrame your brain.

I hope İlber Ortaylı's books will not break your motivation to learn. Because İlber Ortaylı's style of writing is difficult even for native Turkish speakers. I don't recommend İlber Ortaylı's books to anyone who has not reached an advanced level in Turkish.

Öğrenmeye olan bu tutkun muhteşem. Gençler için çok iyi bir örneksin.

Dieses Thema musste zum Ausdruck gebracht werden. Die Türkei hat mehr Aspekte als man denkt. Danke fürs informative Video darüber.

Of all the places I've been Turkey has the best food!

I'm from Turkey and it's always wonderful to see people interested in our language. To anyone saying they're trying to learn Turkish here, hit me up for any questions or just to chat! Turkish grammar may come across counter-intuitive to those used to Western/Northern European languages but it's pretty neat once you start thinking in the language.

Also, don't be afraid of the verb conjugation table guys. Turkish is an agglutinative language, not fusional, so we just add different suffixes one after another. We have a plural suffix, a negative suffix, various tenses, the question particle, and suffixes for the subject: The table with a trillion forms in it is just combinations of those. Most of the time.

Harikasın Steve!!!!! Benim gibi dil öğrenmeye meraklı herkese ilham kaynağı olduğun için teşekkürler 🫶🏻✨

Im learning turkish at the moment and have 1 turkish friend to practice with, this video and lots of the comments has been inspirational and also help me remember points that i can use later on. Keep well!

I was in Türkiye during october as well, I knew next to nothing, I can say my turkish improved tremendously in the 23 days I spent there because outside of Istanbul and the touristic centers, turkish is pretty much the only language to go with :), great experience. 3900 km by car. Istanbul, Safranbolu, Ankara, Cappadocia, Konya, Antalya, Bodrum, Ismir, Pammukale, Çannakale ... and many more :)

A game my girlfriend and I played a lot was "How do you say <french word> in turkish?" We are from Québec, and are francophones, the answer was phonetically almost exactly the same as in french but it was a turkish word. Great fun.... lots of new words we can't even forget! Kuaför, Ferforje etc. :)

Videonuza rastladım, dilimizi öğrenme gayretiniz  ve ülkemiz için övgülerinize  teşekkür etmek istedim. Başarılar diliyorum.

I love the way you use "yok", the way we do in Turkey, as in, meaning, "no".. and you doscovered Ilber Ortayli. Your tutor also sounds great

Turkish is a great language, it’s not difficult, it’s just different and unique as for the grammar. Now I want to do more because of your experience, thanks for that!
