Quoting alexblakeley:

baslatim dort haftalar bilim küçük



Were you trying to say 'I began four weeks ago, I know little'?

Dört hafta basladım, ama biraz biliyorum

We need to add "ago".

Dört hafta önce başladım.

Ama biraz biliyorum: implies that considering I only started 4 weeks ago I know some Turkish (proud of yourself).

If you want it to be more of an excuse, change ama to sadece. I only know a little Turkish.

English is ambiguous: both could be right. You choose the one you want!
