I am in the position where I can converse quite reasonably in politeness ie: hello, good bye ( with all the different versions /situations)

I am learning no lets be truthful I am starting to learn Turkish from a lot of sources this site being invaluable for quick fix . I had my first private lesson last night.. it went well but we are back in the primary school stage, so I have to say while I am learning thank you all for helping me, there is one question is there however an aversion for translating from Eng to Turkish. Just something I picked up generally and I will be honest  personally ? not a moan just a question

I will just answer from my own poınt of view, But I would say that there is a little bit of an aversion to doıng English to Turkish and for me it is natural. This would be for English speakers and not Turkish natives because for me(english person) it is much easier to translate a correctly written Turkish sentence to English, than to get the structure order and all suffixes correct when constructing it yourself form English to Turkish.

I would say I find Turk- Eng easier, but that Turks would probably find English to Turkish easier.

As this is a learning turkish site maybe the majority of people are not turks so the Eng - Turk requests are done by those that can (turk or not) when they are available.

Anyway hopefully if I keep working on my Turkish my Turkish- English and English - Turkish will one day be at the same level

Thanks I hope no one takes as a slight , because what I am learning from you all is invaluable

I would just like to be able ( and hopefully in 6 months so my teacher says) I can now and again surprise Omer with something straight form me in his language and while I learn I get a little impatient and embarrassed that he does all the hard work.. does that make any sense.. if not so sorry
