One of my objections to Rosetta Stone was they they insisted on teaching the Turkish for arthmetic operations.  Why? the answers are the same!

New guy on your web.  Spent 18 months in Turkey many years ago, and learned the language somewhat, still remember some of it, but alot was street slang.  As I study many languages, and not fluent in any, including English, I decided to go back to learn Turkish.  What a surprise, the language I spoke I had never learned to read or write, no grammar, etc;.  That is why I joined this web, am learning alot more than I did when I was a kid stationed over there, and if I can´t go back to the land I love, I can at least study it´s language.  Of course, out here in the boondocks of Montana, no one speaks Turkish.  But learning this beautiful language is definitely worth it.
