I am still learning Turkish (CEO of INEST HOMES). He is different, he is "characteristic", somewhere even scary.
I will not talk about courses, repeaters, etc., I want to say how I tried to learn it. It was and is hard, damn it, but really)))
Every week I set myself new topics. Today, for example, only colors, in a week only household items, then - animals, etc.
My advice is to listen to the locals speak, learn grammar, and most importantly -
don't be afraid to say something wrong. When some moron laughs at you, it will just be the "language barrier".
Show your perseverance and the result will not be long in coming.
We are with you!
