Hi JohnnyR, I have already given one reply to this question in another part of this forum. Please have a look under: - Multilingual Lounge - Thread: Some Turkish expresions for beginners (Babylonia) What I would like to add to this statement is that I am a grammar-freak anyway and that I am fascinated by the complex and logical structure of the Turkish grammar. Turkish is a very regular language with only few exceptions to the grammar rules. People who like logical structures will have fun with this language! By the way, the pronounciation of this language is phonetic, which makes Turkish easy to pronounce. If you want to get an idea of the pronounciation, have a look in the section "SOUNDS", Turkish file posted by me as Babylonia.

That is certainly a reason i can relate to for enjoying a language, good luck with the rest of your studies.

TWO HOURS OF REAL TURKISH LANGUAGE IMMERSION Today I visited the cinema in our city which from time to time presents original Turkish films (spoken in the Turkish language) with German subtitles. It was the first time that I have ever watched a film in the Turkish language. The German title of the film was "Die Osmanische Republik" (= The Osman Republic) and it can be charcterized as a political persiflage on a high intellectual level. Among the audience I was the only non Turkish-looking person. Form the language point of view I needed about 30 minutes to adapt to the "real-life Turkish", which is different to the Turkish which is spoken on my "Güle Güle" CDs. I found it an excellent excercise to listen to different speakers of Turkish and it was helpful to have the German subtitles to understand the essentials of the film. I focused especially on the dialogues and I was able to pick up some standard phrases of conversation. Of course I don't get such an immersion opportunity so often, but I am looking forward to similar language-related cinema visits in the future.

TURKISH COURSE ADULT EDUCATION CENTRE Today we finished Unit/Bölüm 17 of our course book "Güle Güle". By the lack of participants it is uncertain whether our course can continue the first semester of 2009. For this we need at least 5 participants. Grammar topic of this bölüm are especially sentences with "lazim" (= necessary) such as in: 1. Ahmet'in kiz kardesine telefon etmesi lazim. = Ahmet must phone his sister. 2. Elif'in dedesine karsilarmasi lazim. = Elif must receive her grandfather. This grammar feature consists of a Genitve, a Dative and a verb which is transferred into a noun (= substantiviertes Verb). The Turkish language is full of Genitives, this is the main case in the Turkish language. There are different constructions when typically a Genitive is used, which sound unusual to natives of Germanic or Romance languages. On Monday next week our Turkish course will take place again and we will start with Bölüm 18 of our coursebook "Güle Güle".

@ Immersion
Wow, I wish I could go to the cinema, or anywhere, and find multi-lingual things! I live in a remote area, away from big towns or cities, so there is nothing multi-lingual around here - except the Cornish signs and bi-lingual names etc. Lucky! TEL 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi TEL,
You are right, living in a city makes it easier to find opportunities which facilitate immersion. The second point in my case is the chosen language, I am in a similar situation as North Americans learning Spanish. The target group of the films presented at our cinema in the Turkish language are the 20,000 Turkish immigrants living in our city. I take advantage of this for my Turkish language studies.
