Quoting Elisabeth

I am from the evil US and I am learning Turkish so that I can one day take over Turkey and turn it into another bastian of western excess!  {#lang_emotions_lol_fast}

 

 Well done Elizabeth!!  You go girl! {#lang_emotions_flowers}

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

Yeehawwww! I´m from Texas. I used to love barbecue and steak. After visiting Istanbul, my new love is for iskender kebap and pide. I´m learning Turkish to embrace the culture on a deeper level. I hope to be with my better half sometime next year. Until then, I´ll be in class.
