Learning Turkish Language is easy. It has many
advantages over other languages: |
|
1) Turkish
has no genders but Italian, French, German etc have. In Turkish you
don’t have to remember the gender of nouns because there are no
genders. |
2)
Pronunciation of Turkish is easy. In Turkish you don’t have to learn
the pronunciation of each word. You learn the pronunciations of letters of
the alphabet at first and then you just combine them while reading words but
in English you have learn the pronunciation of almost each word. For example
the pronunciation of o in God and Toy is totally different and one cannot
predict it without listening the word before. On the
other hand in Turkish all letters always have the same pronunciation. |
3) Turkish
has Latin alphabet like English but Bulgarian, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese etc have their own alphabets so you have
to learn their alphabets at first. |
4) Turkish
has no irregular verbs but English etc have. In Turkish you just learn the
conjugation rule and then you can easily make the conjugation of all verbs. |

Suggestions
for learning a language: |
1. Study
the sentences and their translations (not the words, not the grammar rules). |
2. Study
by listening when it is possible (not always only by reading). |
3. Study
slowly (not pass another sentence before learning one). |
4. Study
real language (study daily speech, not textbook language). |
