Quoting deli:

You do if there is no need to add the accusative suffix.

Depends on what do you want to say,if you are talking personal,you can use short infinitive to make clear that you are addressing,or talking about certain person,if it's general,you use long infinitive,

You should use infinitive with istemek,either short,or long

But if you used the full infinitive,won't be wrong too,for you are already saying a name here,and talking to a certain person,so it's clear that you are not talking generally.

you can put it this way too,but you should use buffer,you cann't put 2 vowels following each other

And the buffer with the (I )accausative case is y

So it should be
konuşmaYı ve okumaYı.

bod,
İ found this in my book

Biz İngilizce öğrenmek istiyoruz.

So we can use it this way too

Biz İngilizce öğrenmeyi istiyoruz.

İt is in the accusative case.

Doğru mu ?

My book says the same about istemek, and adds the verb bilmek as well.

So as I comprehend, both are possible and correct, yes? But in this case (James iyi Türkçe konuşmak ve okumak istiyor) this is actually an accusative, isnt it? Translating it to English, James wants TO SPEAK and (TO) READ TURKISH well. and 'to' means accusative and so it were also correct to use the accusative:

James iyi Türkçe konuşmayı ve okumayı istiyor.

Do you agree with me?
