Hello everybody. I'm new here and also new studing turkish. Studing alone is not so good as some little conversation from time to time. I would like to find someone interested in this exchange, or others just studing turkish to share doubts and explanations, of course.

Thanks to the site, and to all of you. I hope to talk with you soon.

Merhaba!

I'm interested in improve my Turkish.
Well, my mother tongue is Spanish, as well.
I agree with you, we can share doubts about grammar (to seems like as tongue twister!!!!)

güle güle!!!

hola.. come estas... i want to speak Espanyol well i am full of Turkish lets change some:S and my favorite team is Barcelona... say hi to ronaldinho for me

Merhaba. Nasılsınız?. İyiyim. Sağol. teşekürler. Hoşgeldiniz... Hola. Cómo estás? Bien. Gracias. Bienvenido.

Can you see it? I'm in the begin of the begining. Thanks for your reply. Let's try together to improve both languages.

what about i am fine too which means bende iyiyim in turkish.. lets make this widely do you recommend such sites like that?

Great. "bende" ben + de = I + too = Yo + también in spanish. You will answer that way completly: Yo también estoy bien "bende iyiyim".

"Estoy muy bien" "Çok iyiyim".

I'm sorry, i can't recommend sites like this one for spanish. But for sure, if you type "learn spanish" or "aprender español" you will find a lot of webs. For the rest, xat, talk, doubts here I am! To say it wrong, to say it right, to say nothing at all, but something at least!

Iyi şanslar! Buena suerte!

Hi,
I am new too, I found this site a few days ago and have fun reading all your messages. I am new to learning Turkish, my friend keeps sending SMS in Turkish and he said I have to learn so I can get to know him better.
Please can you help me translate this message:

Seni dusunuyorum ve yanimda olmaniistiyorum. Usuyorum isit beni sana sarilmak ve opmek isityorum bebgim.

As it is a SMS I do not have the correct Turkish letters, I hope someone can help.

Mumbud

Welcome everybody! We are now here two who speaks spanish and three who speaks turkish, isn't it?

How can I ask to all of you in turkish: "Are you living in Turkey?" in spanish: "Vivís en Turquía?"

Vivir = live Vivís = 2 person plural

en = in

Turquía = of course Turkey!

Yo vivo en Barcelona.

Yo = ben

vivo = 1 person plural

Send me private messages too, if you want. I'll be pleased to answer to all of you. Let's try some kind of written talk!

Yo también hablo español, pero a penas sé Turco =/.

I too speak Spanish, but I hardly know any Turkish =/. I can teach Spanish through English, though. ^^

are you living in Turkey? means in Turkish: Türkiye'de mi yaşiyorsun? to live in=yaşamak

Thank you so much for the translation.

Are all Turkish men romantic? Most of the english men I know are not like that they do not like to express their feelings. It certainly makes me feel good to get the messages I must try to learn more about the language and the culture.

Once again I thank you.

Mumbud

Merhaba! İyi akşamlar! Hola! Buenas Tardes!

Thanks SuiGeneris for your reply. Then: (Ben) Barcelona'da yaşiyorum. // (Ben) Türkiye'de yaşimiyorum. // (Yo) vivo en Barcelona. // (Yo) no vivo en Turquía.

It could be useful to put those verbs and words we learn in simple sentences like this, and just practice asking and answering each other.

Nerede yaşiyorsun? // ¿Dónde vives? // Where do you live?

How can I ask that in Turkish:

Have you been in Turkey / Barcelona? // Has estado en Turquía / Barcelona?

Hola!

How is your turkish? How is your spanish? You study both languages at the University? I teach myself turkish since a couple of months and I would like to practice it with turkish people, with no turkish, with anyone who wants it too.

Then, don't hesitate to send PM with your questions.

GörüşÃ¼rüz!

Hasta la vista!

See you!

Merhaba!

I'm searching for a pen-pal who wants to learn Spanish and improve my Turkish.

Send me a private message with your mail adress, tesekkürler!

hi all,
spain and spanish..something is really pulling me in this culture..i wanna know more..i wanna learn is there good sociology or social physcology graduates in spain in english?
estoy esperando su answer.bye

I am learning Spanish. Spanish seems easier to me because it resembles Turkish.

I can help you and can you help me in Spanish

Hmm, just spelling and pronounciation are a bit similar, wait until you´re a bit deeper into Spanish and  you´ll see how completely different they are

Hola chicos. Estoy de inglatera pero he vivido en espana hace siete anos. Estudio türkçe y espanol juntos. Es muy complicado estudiar dos lenguas al mismo tiempo! ( Hello all. I am from England but l have lived in Spain for 7 years. I study turkish and spanish together. It is very complicated learning 2 languages at the same time!)

My spanish translation is probably incorrect!!

Having studied really hard yesterday with turkish I couldn´t even remember how to say hello in spanish!!

What a great site this is!!!  It´s a pity there is not a similar one for Spanish learners.

How are you managing to learn both languages at once? I want to go back to studying Spanish myself -  I used to take a few classes a while back, and I´m just trying to figure out how to do both. Do you study both every day? Do you alternate days? Do you get them mixed up? 

 Your Spanish wasn´t that bad, just remember that you must say "Soy de Inglaterra", you use the verb "ser" to express where you are from, and you can´t use the pretérito perfecto + hace, you have to say "Viví en España hace 7 años", you need to use the pretérito indefinido when you use hace+time expressions.

Hi melek,

I have been learning Spanish for four years and I am still rubbish at it!! Before then I was learning turkish so when I came to learn spanish I forgot all the turkish I had learnt!!! Anyway, hubby and I are thinking of visting Turkey again on an extended holiday so I thought I would brush up on my turkish. Brush up!!!! I have to relearn everything and now I am getting confused with my spanish!!

I have been really cramming the turkish over the last 2 days and couldn´t remember how to say hello in spanish this morning. Very confusing!! How do kids learn 2 or 3 languages at school at the same time???? I suppose they cope because they are young...lol.

Hi Iceheart,

Thanks for the corrections. I haven´t really studied for a couple of years and could never get to grips with the past tense. I think that it´s´ a problem of being self taught. I should have known it was "soy"...I´ve used it often enough...lol.  I need to stop one or the other! I was amazed at how turkish much I had forgotten after not using it at all for 9 years. I have to start from the beginning again!!

I wonder if it would be a good idea to use one foreign language to learn another - for example use Turkish resources to learn Spanish. I found a couple of websites in Turkish that might be helpful with that:

http://www.forumispanyolca.com/

http://www.ispanyol.com/

That way we could kill two birds with one stone and practice both languages at the same time.

I know that´s feasible, I am using English to learn Turkish, even though Polish is my native language, but I´m just not sure how well one needs to speak Turkish to really benefit from the above idea.

Melek, you could be right. I have just had a quick look at them and it may possibly work as long as I can hold up the spanish side and don´t have to convert to english first...lol. My problem would be with the past tenses coz I never remember which one to use and their verb endings...that is down to me not putting the effort in at the end of the day!!! I´ll give it a go tho´.

Thanks for that.

Hi chicavieja))

have you ever tried

http://www.learn-spanish-online.de/ for Spanish or  both for Turkish and Spanish Foreign Service Institute courses?

can be found at www.fsi-language-courses.org

FSI has good books with recordings ,perhaps it could be a kind of help for you.

good luck with both languages,both are beautiful,aren´t they?

Thanks for the FSI link. I bought the basic FSI Spanish course a while back and it was about $80. If I knew there was a website that had the materials for free .....

Hi Birdy,

No I haven´t discovered that site before. Looks pretty good. I have books, cd´s etc etc. Will give it a go. Thanks for that. I also think the spanish/ turkish one is good. 2 languages at the same time but those who understand what my user name means will understand why I struggle 

 Ã know what it means Chica vieja !

That´s all I´m gonna say!!!  

 Dont worry..im solterona 

Gracias para los floras.   I think a walking stick would suit me better...lol!!!

 The goat is a devil,
the sheep is an angel,
the camel is a pilgrim,
the horse is a hero

Turkish proverb)))so far you should have learnt that me gustan los caballos muchoooooo

Buenas noches)))))

Very nice horse.

I think she part-owns it with a couple of other people!  

 Go to mollycaddle your pet -theh..LIR))))))))))))))

 Handsome? Ý thought he is a man...

   - no ´to´ needed in that sentence birdy!

(She is a beautiful horse btw

 estas bromeando?????????????

 ahhh LIR sen bilirsin

 With what animal can you compare him ? And what kind of bird are you ?

That would be Bigfoot (for obvious reasons)

So he really is hairy 

 Melek,my Dabrowski´s sister..you r so generous..I would say a frog taking his ego into consideration - following a joke

once king Lion called all animals

intelligent on right,pls

beautiful on left

animals followed..only frog delayed..angry Lion asked"what is the matter with you?frog?

frog-I do not know my majesty HOW CAN I TEAR MYSELF????

 Now a bird of prey...)))Good night))

Ýs he after women in that picture ? 

Don´t you mean ´tu eres bromeando´?

I think he might be looking for Jessica Lange or Naomi Watts!

 merhaba...ispanyolca çok kolay türkçe çok zorrrr) ben sana ispanyolca öðrenebilirim ve sen türkçe bana

 Your Spanish is terrible LIR))))

http://www.wordmagicsoft.com/dictionary/es-en/est%E1s%20bromeando.php

 Ã think ´estas  bromeando´ is right  look here

The hairiest. The picture doesn´t do him justice. I think he looks like that after he gets his hair trimmed.

 ..or after some few users from here ?

Never pretended otherwise!  

No worries. Just have a hair dryer or some hot wax ready to use and he won´t dare to come after you lol.

 join Lir in her Spanish classes,ur Spanish is terrible as well))))Buena suerte con lecciones..chicas))))

 Ã made a mistake! Ý wanted to wright estas but i wrote eres...look at the link i put it

Right - I have my Admin hat on now!   Will everyone please stop speaking Spanish - this is a Turkish learning site and the language of the forums is English.  So please stop it NOW!  

Oh I can see birdy rushing to add something!!!!

 Ahorra?????eres una bruja!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TLC brujapero quiero dormir..soy mucho cansado...hasta manana)))

What did I say??  

 Are you a male ??? Ýf not then  your Spanish is terrible 

You mean males can not speak Spanish very well? 

 Ãs my english so bad that you dont understand it ?

No male/female endings in Turkish Reyhan - I think thehandsom doesn´t know that there are in Spanish.

(sorry for answering on your behalf again H!)

 THS türk mü? Þimdi anladým..

You didn´t KNOW?????   

 Just a romanian word game   à bon entendeur, salut!

Don´t start up with another language!!    - this deviation from English and Turkish has to stop!!!
