Thank you. Im happy to know you too

 hehe

I think although many of us come here to learn Turkish, but we digress some by getting involved with other aspects of Turkishness..... like the culture.

I study the actual language, then take breaks.  I find unless I am able to actually use and hear the language it´s particularly dificult.  It´s probably similar for others.  It´s like learning to swim while sitting on a couch. You can learn a lot about the theory, but until you get in the water, it´s all mute.

I do think though, many of us probably really could spend more time in study of the language.  The actual classes have evolved a great deal in the last year.

- Loving someone in a foreign language

- Saying "I love you" in a foreign language

- Thinking in a foreign language

- Living your life in a foreign language

- Working in a foreign language

- Talking in a foreign language

- Debating/ arguing in a foreign language

- Making policies in a foreign language

- Marrying in a foreign language   

A person only thinks in their mother tongue and then tries to translate this thought into a foreign language. But this can never be completely translated. It is hard to understand a foreigner perfectly for everyone.

My opinion.

 And no doubt some people you don´t miss.

How ridiculous...Turkish Class has been around since the dawn of man/woman.  Catwoman and Admin put the first TC cave drawings in a remote cave in Turkey.  Thank Goodness that the internet came along!  Otherwise we would all be sitting in a cave right now!

Ahhh....those where the days....before the dawn of the dudu! 

Lisa, see, I found a picture from that time:

Yes, this is the story of our people....The TCians!  It tells the story of our domestication of the wild Turkish Turtle, our discovery of fire, the many battles with the barbarians from the Black Sea Gang, and finally, a depiction of our fiercly moutashed leader, Admin.  I had no idea that they survived the tranfer to cyberspace!  Thank the Spaghetti Monster!
