Would wanting to exercise the handful of neurons slacking around in my head a good reason to study Turkish too? There has to be some mental benefit to studying it (one would hope). I´m hoping it´ll ward off Alzheimer better than doing Sudoku. Did I say I´m hoping it´ll ward off Alzheimer ....?
I´ve always thought it would be cool to know a language from a different family of languages than indo-european, sort of forcing yourself to think out of the box and deal with structures that are different than what´s in one´s mother tongue. Of course, the Turkish delight makes it all the more interesting and fun
