💌 about me: my name is Elysse, I'm 23 years old from the southern U.S. I've been learning languages for about 8 years, and I speak English (native), Spanish (C2), German (B2/C1), French (C1), Portuguese (B2), American Sign Language (advanced), and Turkish (A1). I'm interested in learning Hebrew, Chinese, Georgian, and maybe Náhuatl as well :)

as a native turkish speaker lives in istanbul and benefited from your other videos for language learning, you are doing great progress so far ! and don’t worry when grammar gets complicated because we usually make ‘devrik’ sentences and even many turkish student fails in turkish grammar (yep their native language’s grammar!) too. yürü be elysse!!

your Turkish accent is insanely good! you will sound native one day! it's really helpful to hear how you study and learn here! i will try this with my Spanish learning.
yup, her pronunciation skills are suprisingly good. she struggles at the grammar a bit, but it is normal for a non uralic-altaic native speaker. also her translation guide is kinda problematic, it transfered "to allow" as to "to forbid" which sucks when you are memorizing words in a new language.
Elysse, Turkish may be a bit hard for you, but SINCERELY I should say that YOUR TURKISH PRONUNCIATION IS PERFECT. My jaw dropped and I am still looking for it! If you master the vocabulary and a little bit of grammar, it will be impossible to tell you from a Turk. Keep that in mind and keep it up!
Yiyecek also means food. Giyecek is clothes, in the same manner. I just realized that it could be so confusing to a foreigner because usually you don’t realize these kind of things unless someone who is learning the language points it out to you 😀 Also the fact that you understood the sentence “Tedbiri elden bırakmıyordu” is very impressive! It is by all means not a simple one.
Un video divertidísimo, por cierto. Enhorabuena!
Türkler bile çoğunlukla etimolojisini bilmiyorken onun bilmesi imkansız gibi bir şey. Ama türkçenin güzelliği de biraz burada işte her sözcük her şeye evrilebiliyor.
If you ever open up a live streaming doing it for hours I'd watch it. I used to think I was slow while reading in German (I'm like an A2) but that's how it really happens: sometimes it takes minutes just to understand a single sentence and maybe weeks or months to wrap your head around a new sentence structure, and showing that to people helps them accept the difficulty of learning a new language and just trust the process.
are you dumb? feels like turkish people barely study in school
Yay Turkish content!! I'm also currently learning it and Turkish content from you is great, from tips to boosting my motivation
9:25 Fun fact
When you use kış kış , It's means "Shoo!". You can use for animals for "get away from here , Also u can use for people too but It can be rude (Depends on the way you say)
And I am proud of you too. Keep going learning 💪💪
As an English native speaker who also speaks Spanish and is learning Turkish, I really enjoyed this. Turkish is not an easy language! You’re doing a great job! 🎉❤
I am one of those who wants to learn Turkish thanks to Muhteşem Yüzyıl tv series.🇹🇷
onu bilmiyorum 🤔
Watch Dirilis Ertugrul, ten times better
Ben biliyorum:) And now I noticed that you, with your long wavy red hair and especially when speaking Turkish, look so much like Hürrem from that series.
You have super good pronunciation. How about learning Kazakh later, a Turkic language from the Kipchak group? Oghuz ancestors of Turks of Turkey come from southern Kazakhstan. Many people don't know that Turkic people made world history for thousands of
Hepsi saçmalık kurgu 😂😂😂

I’ve been learning Turkish pretty seriously since March 2023 as a native English/Spanish speaker. I was so happy to know the majority of the words you were reading and totally understand you on how many brain cells you’re burning on trying to learn a completely unique language to English lol 😂Unfortunately today I received a comment from my aunt in law saying that “I’m not learning Turkish fast enough” 🤷♀️ oh well, I’m going at MY pace and I’m happy with my progress in Turkish 🎉
omg it was so cute seeing your reaction for "tedbiri elden bırakmıyordu" sentence i'm a native turkish speaker but i never realised in that way haha
your Turkish accent is very good overall
also daima is not prononuced like "dayma" instead of y, read i like the english "e"
I lovvvve this type of videos where it’s about two languages at the same time.. for me Turkish is waayyyy more better than my Español so I really loved how I gained new vocabularies in two languages at the same time. Thanks!!
Finally found to something about Turkish on TH-cam! Especially together with this a great moment that I extremely wanna will learn to this a interesting language, and also second reason that's I really love to this a wonderful country together with different amazing places and also famous place with different air balloons that's just a lawless place. So yeah thanks for such wonderful content.
You improved your Turkish accent. Go girlll :)
İ am stunned 😳 the sound of your turkish is absolutly insanely correct. You are made for turkish speaking 👏🏻 Aferin Elysee
keep it up! i loved this video, as someone who is also learning turkish at around your level, this was very cool to watch
It is really fun to see someone who is trying to understand or figure out your mother language. But i can literally say that , you are so good. Because at first turkish pronounciation is perfect and sounds lika a native.and as the second one, your "word world " is so large. I mean, you know so many things and when you dont know , your guessings are logical. Congrats for me you are so enough to survive with turkish jdjshshsu. Kitap okumak bir dil öğrenirken çok etkili.bunu devam ettirirsen senin yabancı olduğunu anlayamayiz bile :)
Enjoyed this! Currently learning Turkish myself. Would love to see more videos like this!
Thank you queen for featuring Sarah bc I am joining her italian book club / following along her reading series because of you!
elysseee you did a great job i'd never guess how hard Turkish is actually, now that i think about all the words you kinda mixed up make soo much sense like I've realized how many familiar words we have with completely different meanings 👁️👄👁️ your pronunciation is also great it's so clear love ya great video 👩❤️💋👩💗💗
I'm currently learning Turkish and I find your Turkish videos so helpful! Thank you 😊
İçeriklerin harika! Dil öğrenirken işime yarayan pek çok uygulamayı sende keşfettim. Teşekkürler Elysse
Hi, first of all, I can't describe how much I love your content, it's such a motivation for every person that is involved in this adventure of language learning.
I’m from Spain and now I’m learning Polish, which is my sixth lenguage, and I’m struggling so much with pronunciation. So I just wanted to share an exercise that I’ve been practicing recently and with which I have improved my level:
I put a video with transcription in polish so that I can listen the pronunciation as well, then I stop the video on a short sentence and on a document of Drive I turn on the ‘Dictado por voz’ so I can speak out loud and if the tool can understand me, means that I pronounced it well. I hope this could be useful for anyone!
I wish you the best in all your process of learning.😊😊💜💜💜💜
Loved this video! I should start reading french too but I always get so disappointed when one word throughout the paragraph passes that I don't understand. I love how you laugh during the process and just have fun, I wish I could do that, instead I would just feel stupid lol
You’re Turkish is pretty. And I believe that one day you will achieve your fluency ❤ Kızım resmen bi harikasın ya.
I am still watching it and enjoying a lot. The climax of the video brought a tear of joy to my eye. I wish to see more reading sessions. :)
I wrote everything even the little details I noticed. Pls dont try to understand it fully if you get complicated so much. I wanted to show you the logic but bcs of I dont know your level very precisely this is it for now. But one thing I'm sure is you are doing great.
2:43 kurmak means also setting something up or to build or to create like in turkish some words can mean lots of words in english and also lots of words can mean the same word in english
2:50 not so important but her şey means everything, it was too hard for me to learn difference between anything and everything in english. In turkish there are not that much of a difference
3:05 Actually that is a very advanced level grammar there. For keeping the life joy for yourself just know ecek in that doesnt means future tense. You can see some other words like this yiyecek içecek giyecek etc.
5:35 Also In turkish there are some groups of words and gaining kinda like half new meanings. Is the caution something that could be hold or released? No. But does it makes sense? Definitely yes. You are going to learn deyimler, Mecaz anlamlı sözcükler and understand theese better.
6:10 Because of Turkish is the intersection point of lots of languages and also old turkic there can be situations like this. Daima probably has arabic origin.
7:30 nazik means kind.
8:30 Anlaşabilmek is one of the most complicated examples of Turkish grammar. As I told you at the other comment if you understand the logic of structure you will be very relaxed. You can look this word by anla-ş-abil-mek anla means understand anlaş means understand each other or like communicate anlaşabilmek means can communicate basicly. As I said this one of the hardest examples of Turkish grammar structure and shows how limitless possibilities you can create new words from one origin (anla in this example).
10:20 You did it really great in this sentence. Maybe one thing I can say is (DO NOT EVER try to understand this fully right now) did you notice the similarity between yakın ve yaklaşık (Close and closely). Yaklaş means get closer.
11:05 Same with az and azalmak (little and to decrease)
i cant imagine a languagelearninglife without word reference tbh. also this was so cool make more of these!! :D
I love this concept (would love one video like this in German!!). If it’s not too much trouble when editing, it would be nice to have some kind of indicator of where you are currently reading from since the cuts away from the text makes me lose my spot a little bit. 😊
I loved this format, thanks for making the video! Turkish is so hard for me, but I'm not giving up)
yiyecek means literally food but you are right it is the future form of yemek like he/she/it will eat. In Turkish some verbs are just turns into real nouns.
I just had finished watching an old video of yours about Portuguese when I saw you uploaded a new video about Turkish and I almost screamed out of excitement. 😅 Just like you say that Spanish is your best friend I can say the same about Turkish and Greek. I'm proud of myself because the only word that I didn't know was "tedbir" but let's say I have been learning Turkish for a long time. When you said "Thank you for watching me suffer in Turkish" I felt understood. 😂 Sometimes Turkish is really crazy with its unique logic.
tedbir is definitely not a beginner level word. Probably that's why you saw it in this video for the first time. Başarılar!
@@kubrabozdag3084 Thank you! The only word that I know for "precaution" is "önlem". From what I read they are kind of synonyms? But yea, I don't think I have ever met the word "tedbir" before. Thanks again. 🖤
Yes, they are complote synonyms! Önlem is a newer word while tedbir is much older and comes from Arabic. After the Turkish Republic has been founded, a lot of new Turkish alternatives to Persian and Arabic words were reproduced. Önlem was one of them but tedbir is also still used pretty frequently.
me gusta mucho este tipo de contenido, es bien lindo ver de forma realista lo complicado que es aprender un idioma ^^ estoy empezando a estudiar vietnamita con ese método también y me está ayudando bastante
Hello from İstanbul, Turkey! Loved ur accent btw keep learning turkish u are doin great!
Finally some more turkish content ❤
Understood almost nothing of the story (I don’t understand Turkish or Spanish), but watched the whole video ❤well done! My take from this is: I should read more !
I love this, I’m learning Spanish and this is so validating because I read in Spanish and my brain just melts lol 😂
I love your Turkish contents ♥
I'm a native turkish speaker and I'm telling you, you SHOULD be proud
Here is a list of some words that mean always:
her zaman, hep, sürekli, daima, mütemadiyen, ebediyen
And there are more, believe me. The ones except “her zaman”, “hep” and “sürekli” are older and more literary. They come from Arabic.
"Yiyecek" is both the future tense of the verb "yemek" (to eat) in 3rd person, like "o elma yiyecek" ("he/she/it will eat apples") and it's also a noun meaning "food" in general, including every type of eating supply, vegetables, fruits, meat, grains, bread, etc... Normally -ecek/acak suffix is the future tense suffix but in a few basic common cases it also produces a noun (or sometimes an adjective) from the root verb. "Yakacak" also means "(something) to burn" which is used for heating supplies like wood, coal, etc... "Giyecek" also means "(something) to wear" which is used for all clothing in general.
I really liked this video. I wish you could do this an ongoing series and it wasn't emberrassing at all. I like to see English speaking people learning Turkish and understand their approach and potential struggles in the process. When it's your mother tounge it's hard to put yourself into a foreigner's shoes to understand what parts of your own language might be an obstacle or hard to comprehend for them. This was a great example of that for me. I promise to watch every episode if you do this regularly and even I wish I could even help you if ever you needed any.
im not learning turkish but this was really enjoyable to watch, i know u said it felt embarrassing lmfao but i thought it was really nice. when i try to read my italian books i feel very similarly and it was just nice to see someone else do it the same way. def subscribing ☺️
We want moreeee Turkish reading videos 💖💖💖💖💖💖
As a native Turkish person who have to take IELTS UKVI academic 15 days later, I was surprised when I saw your video. I am sure that you take for granted Turkish in terms of its more hard if you compare to certain West European languages. I believe that you, on the other hand, will be successful eventually, if you work in this way.
Çok güzel konuşuyorsun, başarılarının devamını dilerim. Îyi çalışmalar.🙂
Elysse, first of all, I would like to thank you very much because I am a Turk trying to learn Spanish and I could not find any resources for myself... I found the book you shared and I hope that while you are improving your Turkish, I can also improve my Spanish... I am also improving my English... so there may be some mistakes in the writing. .. I'm trying... I wish you success❤
2:58
Yiyecek means= Food or will eat
Yemek means= Food or eat
Watching this video as a native Turkish speaker gives me a lotta pride .knowing ohter people from the ohter countries trying to learn this language . Congrats 🎉
Hi Elysse! I am Turkish, fluent in English, B2 level in French and recently started learning German and Italian. Your progress is inspiring. Turkish is a difficult language and you seem like you handle it pretty good! Feel free to contact me if you need a practicing buddy. Good luck! 😊
Thank you for this video, you motivated me to continue reading in my target language even though I still have a long room to learn hahaha Dx
Çok tatlısın ve azmine hayran kaldım ben de ayni senin gibi ingilizce öğrenmeye çalışıyorum 😅 fakat ingilizce çok zor umarım ikimizde bu dillerde gelişiriz❤
I am happy to see a new video
Native Turkish speaker here - it is fun to see some language learning content from the other side (meaning from the Turkish-learner point of view).
If I could humbly suggest you some studying tips, I would stick to English when it comes to using an interface language, firstly because it is your native language (I assume?) and secondly there seems to be more mistakes or inaccuracies in the translations in other languages e.g. izin vermek ---> to allow but not to forbid
Another important point would be considering the existence of potential idioms, especially the level in which you were reading in the video would probably contain a ton of them. Actually in general, we use way too many idioms and sayings in comparison to the other European languages, well Italian is another one.
To your question: Yes, daima is rather literary but we do use it in daily life as well, so not a certain answer in there.
I hope this helps! Keep up with the good work!
i just bought a book for spanish two days ago and i couldn't even get past the first page! i'm glad i'm not alone; reading in your target language is hard 😭
As a turkish I think you re good on this keep going!❤
as a native Turkish speaker I do feel compelled to tell you that your pronunciation is pretty impressive!!!! keep up the good work, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask, I'd love to help :)
Your videos of reading Turkish book is so enjoyable for me. Bu konuda şüphesiz çok iyisin :) hahahah
Your accent is actually so good. Keep going.
That was good. And the jokes are fun too :)
By the way, I don't know the Spanish part but the Turkish translation of the book could have been better.
For example "Daima yanında silah taşıyordu" could be "Yanında daima silah taşıyordu".etc.
OH MY GOSH!!!😭 I love your videos, thank you so much for mentioning me ❤
thanks for being awesome!!
Keşke herkes senin gibi azimli olsa 😅
You are really smart, Turkish is a difficult language your ability to perceive your mistakes and correct immediately is phenomenal even though you are using a dictionary and translation.
hayatta kalmak : to survive . you are good keep it up :)
I challenge you to take the Clozemaster 10 languages 10 questions each challenge if you include Turkish I'm certain you'll score high and it'll be a great way to showcase your skills while entertaining and inspiring us.
Or if you play just a deck of 100 on Turkish on Clozemaster that too would be cool
almanca öğrendiğin ve konuştuğun videonun altına yorum yapmıştım şimdi bir de bunu gördüm, kendin ile gurur duyabilirsin cidden müthiş🫶🏼
You are doing perfect
❤❤❤
J’aime beaucoup vos vidéos, même quand je n’étudie pas la langue.
ur so good
@Elysse Speaks You should careful about level books. For example some books say "intermediate level" but you can check inside and realize that content could be advance level. this reason I stopped reading all spanish level books. Now happy with oly richard's books. Their levels are appropiate. I dont know can you find turkish one.
Very good! A few comments:
-miş is for unwitnessed events ONLY when it's used alone. "Öğrenmiş" would mean "apparently he learnt", but -mişti is a totally different tense: itsthe pluperfect. "Öğrenmişti" = He had learnt.
Şüphesiz is pronounced with separate P and H sounds. There is no "PH = F" combo in Turkish. Pronounce them separately.
Azalmak comes from "az" = little.
Anlaşmak is the reciprocative of "anlamak" = to understand. So "to understand each other"
Yiyecek is 'he will eat", but also "food". This is a way to make nouns from verbs. It doesn't exist for every verb, but some common ones are: "içecek" (drinks), "açacak" (bottle opener), tutacak (holder or handle), etc. We also use this form together with "bir şey". You can then use it with almost any verb: "Okuyacak bir şey" = something to read; "izleyecek bir şey" = something to watch. Basically "X-ecek bir şey" = something to X.
yazmak istediklerimi yazmişsın teşekkür ederim :)
it is a type of participle. yiyecek: something to eat. giyecek: something to wear. yakacak: something to burn. içecek is probably something that you know, it means drink. so içecek: something to drink :) it is the same structure. i cannot think of many examples really, it is not a productive suffix.
as a person who is a native turkish and a fluent eglish speaker, also as someone who is learning spanish, it's the reverse of my mind lol
You’re making me want to learn Turkish
Aksanın mükemmel, şok oldum
Kız harikasın ya😍😍😍
I had fun pausing and reading the Spanish.... I was going to ask you what level it was in Turkish, but since I read the Spanish page in its entirety, I'm gonna give it maybe a native 1st grade reading level? Given that its a graded reader situation, it's probably close to native Kindergarden level or native 1st grade level reading. As a native English speaking adult that sounds not so great, but in a foreign language that's quite an accomplishment :-)
I'm listening to my first audiobook in Spanish and I have to read the pdf in Spanish as well, and I'm also referencing the English audio and text. Wish me luck. Reading in another language is tough.
As a native, your accent damn very good!
Plz go to el salvador (spanish country)
Their food is sooo good!!
My mom is from that country
(In Central America)
Hahaha i know im not supposed to but i am laughing my ass off as a native speaker 🤣 you are pretty good tho it is a hard language (word orders, the verbs, mixed vocabulary from different langueges etc) you shuld be proud👏
Hi, your Turkish pronunciation is very good. I speak English without an accent because I hear it everywhere, but since I want to learn different languages, how can I learn it well without an accent and with well pronunciation? how did you learn? Because for example Russian or Norwegian there are not as many resources as English and how can I learn it with a native accent ? for improve to prononciation you can watch turkish dramas but for norwegian and russian there is not much good movies or shows to watch to improve the language. Also I want to learn french, maybe then italian too.
Hskxhsixhsixhsixbsibdeixbsi çok çok özür dilerim ama nedenini bilmediğim şekilde Türkçede acı çekmenden çok keyif alıyorum. Kanalını Almanca videolarından takip etmiştim ve şimdi bu videoları izlemek çok eğlenceli. Bu arada gerçekten çok ilerlemişsin ve bazı şeylerin mantığını oturtmaya başlamışsın. Bundan sonrası daha kolay olabilir bir süre özellikle ekleri anladığında her şey daha kolaylaşacak.
Sadist misin? QWEQWE:F
your pronounciation is very on point
not the süt mısır stand NMKCSDBVHDSUWEG I just burst out laughing
seninle gurur duyuyorum beybiii
woow , your Turkish is realy good ))
6:40 Amerika'da çok silah var. (Silahlar demene gerek yok, çok derken çoğul olduğu belli oluyor zaten)
You don't have to say plural of Silah, it is already obvious from "çok" that you are referring multiple items.
teşekkür ederim!!
Yes actually this is always the case! Insanlar vardı, çok insan vardı. 3 elma, 2 bebek (not elmalar ör bebekler). If i am not mistaken
yeah that's the most common mistake, I do the opposite of it when I speak English. I always say for example "give me two cookie" or "I see two car" - now I am saying the correct ones but it was a challenge for me and for other Turks as well. @@hhh-vf9eq
I was going to point out to the same thing. In Turkish, the words after the plural adjectives are always singular. Same with numbers. “Dört kalem”, not “dört kalemler”. (There are some classic book or story names such as Üç Silahşörler, Kırk Haramiler vs., if you come across them, dont’t mind them; they are the exceptions.)
Your turkish prononciation is so good that makes one wonder if you had turkish background somehow. You have almost no accent!
Elysse, you are a fan of cultural immersion, you should definitely watch “Kızılcık Şerbeti”
As s native Turkish I can guarantee you're on a higher intermediate level of Turkish. I mean you got the logic of Turkish sentence structure well. With this progress you'll soon become advanced level. I advise you to study on Turkish idioms because idioms are heavily used in Turkish.
But the real thing I want to emphasize is your accent is nearly perfect. No doubt you have a good ear to get the pronunciations correct.
Türkçeyi iyice öğreneceksin bu gidişle, bravo sana.
I'm Hungarian.
good video🎉
Your Turkish accent sounds so good. You sound like a person who grew up in a Foreign countries with Turkish Parents.
as a turk its also very hard to switch to english for me because sentence order is completely different
heyy can you plz plz plz plzzzzz make a youtube video for resources to learn puerto rican spanish plzzzzzzzz
she so cute to speaking my native language😇
I recognized a cognate! (when you said the meaning, of course) "Nehir" is from the Arabic cognate of "נהר".
that's hebrew
kas: muscle
kasa: safe
kasaba: town
kasabalı: townsman
kasa balı: case honey
