This question is not answerable. It depends on everyone personally.

how long does it take in studying turkish language???

 

 It depends on what level of proficiency you wish to achieve!?  Turkish is a very logical, regular and a comparatively easy language to learn ... at a very basic level.  One can begin to make oneself ´UNDERSTOOD´ by native speaker ... using words, gestures and ´broken´ [incorrect syntax] phrases and sentences, within a given context [shop, restaurant, station, salutation, greeting, etc.] >>> FAIRLY QUICKLY.

 

Difficult bit to be able to ´understand´ the spoken language  > as spoken at street level, and spoken rapidly.  It takes a long time for ears to get used to ´conversation´.  Few, if any, of  Turkish acquaintances will make allowance for a learner!!!! ... even simple words like ´ya sen?´ and ´neypon´ [ne yapiyorsun?], ´bidefa´ [bir defa - sounds like bedeva] ... can cause one to be left wondering.

 

Imaginative use of language, involving combination of words and longer sentences >> needs lot of endeavour.  Turkish is not a language but an ´Art´.  No wonder it is aptly remarked ... ´Arabic is a language, Farsi is sweatmeet, but Turkish is an art´.   It is a fascinating language.  Even though I love Turkish ... I can just about manage a simple conversation.

 

One must be prepared to go through periods of grave doubt and frustration >> but [relatively] soon it ´gels´ together.  There is hope at the end of the tunnel ... but do not rush.  Insha´Allah you will get ´there´ ... persevere.  Keep in touch with this site, it is full of wonderful members ... despite some ´in fighting´ and controversy on occasions.  This only makes matters lively and more interesting!!

 

If you need ´moral´ support and feel in the doldrums ... feel free to communicate via a private message.
