Quoting robyn  : i find that using your turkish with turkish/fluent speakers is a far better way of improving your turkish then reading books etc..thats how i deal with it,... |
My problem is that when trying to speak Turkish with Turks who also speak English, I suffer from a sudden "speaker's block". Speaking with someone who only speaks Turkish is ok, but otherwise I get all shy and I hate it!

That's so true Elisa! If they can't speak any English you have no option but to do as well as you can with Turkish - but if they do (as most of the Turks I know do) then, although they are always very helpful, its far too easy to lapse back into English and English is so widely-spoken it makes us Brits very lazy when it comes to learning other languages anyway!
