Am learning Turkish and would like to interact with other students or find someone in the Boulder, Colorado area who speaks Turkish as a native language.
Any suggestions?
Is there a more appropriate forum to ask this on?
Does anyone who speaks Turkish have Skype and a headset and time to talk now and then?
Email me if you can, Teþekkür.

Thanks, I emailed them a few weeks ago, nothing back. Maybe the new school year has everyone doing other stuff still.

I'm in Colorado Springs...if you find anyone there let me know, I would be willing to commute if someone would be willing to teach. Boulder is only a little way. There is a Turkish restaurant in Denver, so I know there are Turkish people in Denver. It is a matter or 1. tracking them down 2. convincing them to try to teach you!  I found one native speaker in Co. Spgs. but I got so excited I think I scared her off!

Badiabdancer74,
I'll LYK if I find someone between here and the springs. I do have an excellent SW package with audio and written turkish given to me by a friend who worked there a few times. I was there (Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya, Kusadasi and Selcuk (for a month and a half - bierboochai? phonetically) and learned enough to keep from starving and getting my ass-kicked 
Also enough to find a small-town Turkish woman to fall in love with and fall in love with me...
But...., am looking at going back and following up on a relationship possibility and really NEED to learn Turkish conversationally.
The SW I have is called "Languages of the World - Turkish" and I would highly recommend it. I'd share if you were closer.
If I get ahold of the Turkish group here and get something going, I'll LYK. Thanks for the support. We'll maybe work together to get something going. Cheers. Gule Gule.

I can definately say that they are out there! We live very near Boulder, and my husband is from Turkey, through him I have meet 1 couple in Boulder, and 3 couples in Denver, that are native Turkish speakers. Unfortunately I am still in the beginning stages of learning, so I feel pretty left out when we get together. Although they get SO excited and happy when I use the few words that I do know.
Where is this Turkish restaurant in Denver? I know my husband would love to go there some time!
