Günaydın arkadaşlar!!!!
I´m trying to remember a turkish proverb-it goes like
"Βir insan bir lisan"
or
"Bir lisan bir insan" ?
I think it´s meaning is that learning different languages is like being a different person...or something like that!
Yardım için tşk ederim!!!

Merhaba Delidolu,
That proverb is "Bir lisan bir insan"
And there is also: "Bir dil bir insan, iki dil iki insan"
Literally tanslation is "One language, one person". That means: if you know one language you are a person; but if you know two languages, you are two persons. When you learn more than one language, you also learn another culture. And that makes you another person.

Modified: Oops sorry , I didn´t realise this was in the language forum. I saw the proverb and used the search engine to find a thread. I´ve moved it elsewhere
