What are your favorite tips to help with learning Turkish? Some famous ones are watching TV and changing your phone language, any other advice?

I’ve always been so curious but I always forget to ask him. I know that Aslan means lion, but I can’t find anything online about it being a term of endearment - is this something unique to him or is it common? and if so what does it mean? :)

Selam,

I have a friend who posted something sad/cute on their story and said "Ağlayayazdım"

I can't tell what the "yayaz" part is doing or meaning here. the first "y" seems like filler, e.g. anla"y"amıyorum

Any help would be much appreciated

Teşekkürler

Hi i’m looking for a native Turkish in my age groupe (20-25)to exchange language i speak French ,English and my Turkish is quite good If interested dm me Thank you

Why does tye verb sevmek use present continuous tense? From what I have learned present continous tense is used for things happening at that exact moment in time and present simple tense is used for actions done often so why does the verb sevmek use "yor"?

How do I say "Wait, they don't love you like I love you" in Turkish? "Bekle, seni benim sevdiğim gibi sevmiyorlar" is what I came up with but does it sound normal to natives? It's for a video :)

Holaa, como estan??

I am 22 yo and my native language is Turkish. Besides, I know B1 level English. I recently started learning Spanish and ı am looking for a friend in my age group(20-26)to practice with. İf you are a native speaker of Spanish to learn Turkish, don't stand there vamosss lets be friends.

So, I was born in germany and grew up in germany. My mother tongue is turkish, and I know turkish. I often talk turkish in the house, watch turkish series, but yet, I still feel like my turkish isn't enough, I don't know much about the grammar. I really want to get into it, and improve my turkish more, because turkish really matters for me. I'm confused where to start, since I grew up in a turkish speaking household. I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me some advise. Thank you :)

I'm writing a book and my character is the younger sister of the boyfriend and constantly calls her 'sister-in-law'. How would she say it?

Is the word "running" specific? Because I wouldn't think so but when saying "I love running" why does running turn into koşmayi??

I am native turkish speaker and id like to exchange language for english only . We can use skype, telegram, teams and others to communicate..

Merhaba, I have been trying to listen to more Turkish music and am really into disco + Anatolian rock. Some examples of songs I like: Biz İnsanlar, Bir Gün O Yok Diyecekler, Bügün Bana Yarın Sana

Would love some more songs in this genre. Teşekkür ederim

Merhaba, I am trying to learn turkish and am wondering what the best approach is.

I do not live in turkey so cannot fully immerse myself in turkish. Is there a point in constantly listening to turkish music, watching shows in turkish etc because I only know basic greetings, the alphabet, numbers, days, a few random words and a few grammar rules.

From the shows that I have watched I haven't learned anything and since I have has free time in the holidays and spent 2 weeks in turkey I watched A LOT of shows in turkish but didn't pick up on anything, will this change if I continue? A friend of my parents lived in Spain for 3 years and she told me she still can't speak a word of Spanish except hola so is this method reallt effective?

Shoukd I continue to study grammar rules? Obviously I don't want to put my main focus on grammar rules because it is confusing and many people have told me not to spend too much time on it.

I am currently watching turkish journeys videos on Yt and am on the series of nominal sentences and copulatives verbs, I am unfamiliar with the terms nominal, copulative and predicate and don't understand how they relate to any of this or what I'm supposed to be learning.

Also, for the sentence "okuyorum" the personal suffix added is "um" is there a rule about personal suffixes that I should know about? because one website I read said that the personal suffix for talking about yourself is "im" I'm very confused!!

I have spent hours trying to figure this out I am so confused someone please help!

I have been trying to learn the infinitive in turkish I understand using mak and mek depending on vowel harmony but I don't understand whrn I would actually use these words I saw somewhere that they can be used as gerunds sp I thought it could be used when saying "I love swimming" but apparently not its "yüzmeyi" and not "yüzmek" but if i want yo say that swimming is good I can use yüzmek this is so confusing, one website told me that in the sentence "research is the key to gaining knowledge" you use the infinitive on research but if I type "research is the key to gaining knowledge" into a translator no infinitive is used this is also the same with the sentence "I love learning turkish"

Hey, I am Turkish 21yo and I know B1-B2 level English but when I am not doing practice the language is getting worse so I would like to talk to English native people and I can help you if you would like to learn Turkish.

I like la la land film... I like to write and sing a song (just by myself;) I like business, startups, ideas...

If you would like to talk dm ;)

Hello everyone! I want to get straight to the point. I have been trying to learn English for a long time, but I haven't been able to speak fluently because I can't practice conversation. I have attended many apps and courses, but I have been disappointed. Therefore, I thought about connecting with foreign friends who want to learn Turkish. While I help you learn Turkish, you could support me with my English. We can also make this enjoyable by communicating through a platform, chatting, or playing games. ( Turkish is my native language )

Hi everyone. I’ve been working on this app for the last few months and would love to get people’s thoughts on it. It’s called issen, which is a personal, voice-driven conversational AI language tutor. It remembers who you are and naturally adapts the chats and lessons to your particular learning style and goals.

The idea came from my experience trying to learn French. I’ve spent years at it going through many online tutors. I like the experience of a dedicated teacher a lot, but on top of being expensive and often a bit awkward, I move around a lot, so an in-person teacher is extremely hard for me to manage. I tried a bunch of language learning apps (Babbel, Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, etc.), but none of them really compared to having an actual teacher.

The idea for issen is for it to be that actual conversational teacher, accessible directly from your phone at any time.

You can check out the app at issen.com (Turkish is supported!). Please let me know what you think, if you have any questions or feedback, or want to talk about language learning in general!

As a native turkish speaker I am looking for some friends who is trying to learn some turkish. As u can see I speak english and I also speak german but my german is not good as my English but my german is not bad i should say that. I think i should say something’s about me I am 18 and a male so yeah that’s all i will wait for y’all.

Hi! I posted this elsewhere on a general subreddit for learning languages and it got flagged for being too specific, oops! I’ll just give it a try here!

I have been recently wanting to learn how to speak Turkish because my crush is a native speaker, I really want to be able to talk with them in Turkish. I’ve also wanted to learn a new language many different times, this just seems like a great way to just go ahead and rip the bandaid off.

I’ve tried to learn on Duolingo before, However, Duolingo is not really beginner friendly for me. I’ve tried to learn languages there multiple different times with the same result of being very discouraged from learning because of the structure of the app. The fundamentals aren’t really even there and there are often prompts to translate words and sentences I’ve not even seen or heard before.

So I’m looking for advice and resources. Any tips for beginners to the language? Good places to start? Any applications or study material that would be good for learning?

Edit: thank you for all the responses! I will look into all the resources and suggestions
