rick i am here solely to learn turkish and although at times i make mistakes and feel i am losing the battle i will continue to muddle through and maybe just maybe i will be able to speak turkish fluently. I am learning turkish because i holiday there every year and the people are so open and friendly with me i feel it is only right that i can show an understanding of the language, we plan to buy a sailing boat when we retire and live aboard for the summer months therefore i believe that learning the language will only enhance my wonderful time spent is this truely magnificent country so there you have it my reason to be here!

No Rick. It's not cause of a boyfriend. Not for me anyway.

A turkish friend introduced this website to me, as he knew i was already trying to learn turkish. And though my reason to start turkish lessons 1.5 year ago was a b/f, when i first visited this site my 'reason' was not existing anymore.

But, like Deli said, i have been to Turkey many times and planning to vist there even more in the future. And once you have visited this country its not possible to forget it.

Whatsmore, i have a passion with learning everything i can, about different cultures and foreign countries. It's like a hobby for me.

But let me tell you one more thing. Probably the main reason why i m here: Here, in this forum, i ve made many and very precious friends. TC is a kind of a family to me. So, even if i decide to quit turkish, or learn spanish later (which is under serious consideration btw), i will still be visiting TC. Got it?

It seems that there are some people who use this site purely so they can get messages to and from their bf/gf translated. Personally I cannot understand why they don't actually try and learn the language. But they are by far the minority!!!

For me, I visit Turkey last year with my girlfriend and we fell in love with the country and it's people so much that we immediately booked to go back again. We both decided to try and learn a little Turkish for when we return. I have always been useless at languages but I seem to have fallen for the Turkish language as much as I have for the place itself.

So I suppose my reason to learn is learning for its own sake - I can communicate with my girlfried in English (we are both English natives!). Whilst the initial reason to learn was because of visiting again, learning has now become an end in itself.

I'm here to improve my Turkish and help others with their Turkish 'cause I speak Turkish due to my job but there is no end to perfection you know And I like this site very much and I find it really useful. So having a Turkish bf and gf is not the only reason to be here...

rick.. i agree with u by saying that there are lots of members who just want to get translations for the bf or gf who they have met on holiday! and that angers me sometimes as they dont generally want to learn TR.
there are however, several members who genuinely want to learn this beautiful language, such as myself and the other members who have also posted so far

It doesn't anger me at all.
I fail to uderstand it; perhaps because of my inate desire to learn about everything I possibly can......

Besides, it provides a endless source of real Turkish for us that are learing to translate. All practice must be a good thing
