I want to mention the benefits of learning Turkish and how important can it be for the foreigners to speak the language.

After you learn Turkish:

1) You will not need this forum to translate your love letters. You will be able to write your own letters.

2)You will be able to communicate with your boy or girl friend and you will understand each other better.

3) You will not need this forum to understand your boy or girl friend´s msn or facebook correspondences that you got secretly.

4)When you come to Turkey, it will be easy for you to communicate with dudus.

5)You will understand facebook aphorisms and you will get enlightened.

6)You will understand the meaning of Turkish pop songs and you will be schocked by how meaningful they are.

7) You will follow magazine news and you will learn every gossips about your favourite Tv star.

8) You will not need Turkish subtitles when you watch Turkish soap operas.

You see how important to learn Turkish. Please don´t give up.

9. And also, if your own intentions are sincere, you are likely to get aqcuainted with a fascinating culture and talented people from all over the world. People who you would never have met otherwise.

You pretty much get what you are asking. So if you find yourself stuck with slippery dudus, pop songs and third class TV seria blame yourself.

Thank you....I feel extremely flattered !   

And they will argue with you about politics!  

...and those of Fikret Kızılok, Yeni Türkü, Düş Sokağı Sakinleri, Ezginin Günlüğü, Tülay Özer....
