Thx sooo much melek, really, thank you for your time

It really helped me understand more

About trying to learn everything all at once , i actually copy paste and print everything, along with excercises from this site and other sites and my book and i work on them during the week when im free cause i dont get alot of time for turkish with school and etc etc!

 

You´re very welcome. I learn too by trying to explain something how I understand it or trying to find an answer to a question. So much on the forum is still beyond me, I have only been learning for a couple months on my own and only recently started attending formal classes.

 

I too like to get my materials from different sources and websites (check out the links thread, it has some cool websites there), but I think what can get frustrating is when you try too much too quickly. I think when you learn languages you build up on what you have learned previously, so it´s hard and frustrating and confusing when you jump too much ahead. Like it´s hard to learn how to add endings, when you don´t fully understand vowel harmony, it´s hard to learn the verb tenses, when you don´t know how to add endings, it´d hard to learn the compound sentences when you don´t know the tenses, etc. So if you try to learn, let´s say, the verb tenses when you don´t know vowel harmony yet, you´ll get discouraged very quickly. And I don´t mean specifically you, I don´t know how you study, it´s just a general comment. I have to keep telling myself that and keep telling myself to slow down - when I first started studying I was happy that I got the greetings and 2 months later I want to be fluent! It´s so easy to get discouraged that way. I just tell myself I know more than I did 2 months ago and for now that should be enough.

 

So good luck to you! And I´m glad if I can be of help as much as I´m happy there are others here who are willing to explain if there´s something I don´t get

lol, ive been learning on my own for a few months too with no proffessional help

(dont have enough time at allllll!!!!)

BTW i read throught the things you and  Chantal posted earlier and really concentrated (yesterday i just read them quickly and then printed them out thats why i ask for a lot of stuff at once so when im free i can study them at my own pace )

Theyre excelllllllllllent really1 Thank you both again!

And dont worry, i probbaly wont be asking for something else until a few weeks later when ive got thesse things down for sure

Thx aagin!
