I agree with you 100% on that! However, some methods can keep that person like that, and some can change them away, and some (Michel Thomas for example) can make someone who is only slightly, into that. TEL 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

INTERIM MESSAGE This weekend I have not been able to study Turkish as it was planned, because I did not feel wel. I gave it a try, but I could not concentrate and I decided that it was better to go to bed for a while. A Turkish person would say in such a situation: "Geçmis olsun". Which means: "Get well soon." In the beginning of next week my Turkish course and my private study group will take place as usually. I will send a report to the readers of my TAC 2009 Log.

TURKISH COURSE ADULT EDUCATION CENTRE (AEC) This evening we started with Unit 18 in our textbook "Güle Güle". Typically for this book is that there are many dialogues in this book which makes the language usage very practical. Unfortunately our teacher translates every Turkish dialogue into German, which I dislike. I can better assimilate a foreign language when the native language is eliminated. We had two main topics this evening. Turkish celebration wishes: 1. Yeni yılın kutlu olsun! = Happy new year! 2. Doğum günün kutlu olsun! = Happy birthday! 3. Mutluklar dilerim! = I wish you good luck! 4. Nice yıllara! = Many years! Also a new verb conjugation scheme was introduced. In the Turkish language there is no auxillary verb "can / to be able to", but the normal verbs have to be conjugated with "ebil" and "abil" in between. To give you an example: 1. ben gelebilirim (= I can come) 2. sen gelebirsin (= you can come) 3. o gelebilir (= he/she/it can come) 1. biz gelebiliriz (we can come) 2. siz gelebirsiniz (you can come) 3. onlar gelebilir/gelebilirler (they can come) I hope that tomorrow our private study group Turkish can take place as scheduled.

I think you're right. For me, the whole object of learning is to be able to think in the foreign language. (This is how I try to use my Linguaphone Greek courses. I limit contact to the translations, and try to work out as much of the meaning as possible through repeated listening.) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes, exactly, thinking in the foreign language is what I also want to achieve. In Turkish this is still difficult for me, but with my other foreign languages I naturally think in these languages. Edited by Fasulye on 09 December 2008 at 5:45am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes, I can imagine that thinking in Turkish would be a real challenge! From what I've heard, the whole structure of the Turkish language is completely different from Western languages. To that extent, the learner has to completely re-wire his or her brain!!
