  • Check out yourteacher.ai/ to practice any language! My Turkish friend Efkan invited me out to Turkey to hang out and get some, err, self-care, but he also wanted to test my Turkish out on the locals. Would I crash and burn, or actually impress them? In addition to learning with Efkan it was also great to be able to practice with the language learning tool I co-created called Teacher AI before coming so I would have a bit of preparation in different scenarios. Make sure to go to yourteacher.ai/ if you want to get unlimited speaking practice without the awkwardness of human interaction in one of 25 different languages including Turkish! And also check out Efkan's Italki profile to learn some Turkish: www.italki.com/en/teacher/755...

      Also I am sure that your Turkish content will get a LOT of views if you spend more time in the streets & try out some food.
      We as Turkish people are really enthusiastic when it comes to seeing foreigners explore the country, which is just like having your friend watch your favorite movie and seeing their reaction! 😁I'd love to show you around in Istanbul!!

    As a Turkish person I think this is one of the cultural differences we have with the west. In Turkiye, if you try to speak Turkish no matter how poor your Turkish is, people will find it sympathetic and will try to help you. But for instance in France, if your french is poor, people dont like to hear it and they are like they want you to stop trying and continue in english.

    As children in the 1980's my mum would not let us utter a single word of english in our turkish household. We used to envy how our cousins and our friends could freely speak English at home to their parents. Decades later they are unable to string two words of turkish together because they never learned and now they envy my mum for not allowing us speak english at home. Mum knew that we would learn at school and the importance of knowing your mother tongue.

      I had a Romanian friend from Cluj-Napoca. He was erasmus student in Türkiye. In that time I fell in love with a black (actually dark brown) eyed girl. So he taught me it in Romanian language: fata cu ochi negri😂
