omg!!!

sort of like my brother really!

hahahaha i swera im laughing so hard, they think theres smthg wrong with me!!!!

awww..You are supporting eachother.. How sweet!!

But, it does not surprise me really..

After hanging around 5 and half years in TC, Catwoman managed to learn 17 words and GG has 3 and 1/2 words.

Yes I agree with Lady in Red...English also is a too hard language....

English is a world language, like an international  tongue organism...

Maybe it takes a life time...

Sometimes I want to try to read Time (United States) , Newsweek (United States), The Economist (UK) , Financial Times (UK), Washington Post (United States), İnternational Herald Tribune (The Golbal Edition of the New York Times), etc.

It is impossible to read them easily for my present capacity...

I must read "A history of the English-Speaking Peoples since 1900"...

I would like to read William Shakespeare´s plays = Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth and Othello in English...But it is impossible for now....

But I recognize some Turkish friends here, they know English very well..And they can read these publications...

Yeah, I speak 17 words, Trudy´s computer is hacked, you are a poor man that some evil women didn´t want in their garden of males... what is next?!?

Huh? Of course it´s better to learn any language with a supervision of a trained teacher. Yet, if we study by ourselves, a language with not many exceptions and with phonetical writing system is easier. Thus Turkish is easier to learn on one´s own than English

 You are advertising on TLC for TLC?

 So glad he put the name in full - how would we have know??

 I do know of someone who learnt English buy just reading newspapers, with the help of a dictionary and I wonder how the resort boys learn English so well? Do they go to classes or just rely on learning from tourists.

I think you should lower your limits on the papers you chose to read!  Most of those are so boring, you should try the Independent or Times (online) or the Turkish Daily News (English version online) first.  We have a saying " learn to walk before you run" and I think you have chosen some very difficult papers, journals and books (i.e. Shakespear) to read.  The average UK born person would not even read (or be able to read) Shakespear - you need a will of cast iron, determination and dedication  

But Yilgin, I for one think your level of English has greatly improved lately.  Keep it up!

 I agree, he´s doing very well with his English but Shakespeare may be too ambitious for the moment.  However, he may wish to watch some of the film versions or read some of the publications that have been produced for children.  These will help with the understanding of the plot before reading.  I would suggest a fairly light one to begin with eg. "A Midsummer Night´s Dream" or "Twelfth Night".

Yilgun, if you look under the Filmography section here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Branagh#Filmography  there are some Shakespeare films there and I think some of them can be obtained in video/DVD form.
