  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.”<br><br>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.”

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

  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&apos;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.

  I&apos;m from Turkey and it&apos;s always wonderful to see people interested in our language. To anyone saying they&apos;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&apos;s pretty neat once you start thinking in the language.<br><br>Also, don&apos;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.
