Hello, I have been trying to learn turkish for over a year now.  I am having turkish lessons and am finding it extremely difficult.  I spend a lot of time with turkish people but the dialect used in the area where I live is so different from the Istanbul turkish language taught to us.  Everybody speaks so quickly.  The teacher tells us to listen, but I do listen to all the endings of the words, but am finding to so difficult.
