so. welcome to my little tumblr bedroom. i'll clear off a spot on the bed for you, come in and say hi and let's be friends

Another thing Turkish Duolingo is teaching me is how to say "The turtles are eating the spider" which I can't fathom being useful in any context fkfbkkfnslfj

Why learn a foreign language, you ask?

Understanding and speaking the language will at some point inevitably make you feel like a spy/important person... - Bonus points for when you can eavesdrop on public conversations.

Have those fun little moments when you catch mistakes in your target language on signs, merchandise and in media. (Especially if it’s Japanese or Chinese... People love to butcher those). 

Imagine what your crush would think if they suddenly realize you speak a different language 3 months after meeting you. They may gasp, exclaim that you’re full of surprises, and go weak in the knees from your oh-so-mysterious demeanor (bonus points if it’s French or Italian). 

Fulfill your study aesthetic dreams, because you finally have something to theme a new blog around. Time to splurge on a pretty notebook and nice pens and work on that handwriting. Get the desk set up nice and cute, grab yourself the most beautiful coffee mug you can find. You’ve just become that girl. And you love it. Can’t forget to mention the messy buns, glasses (don’t have to be prescription), cat ownership and plants. 

Increase your chances of escaping eternal loneliness TEN FOLD because learning a language just opened doors to millions of people who couldn’t speak yours. 

Your personality may shift depending on which language you’re speaking, due to cultural and linguistic differences. So, by learning a new language, you will not only become more knowledgable about the world around you, but about yourself and people in general. 

Accurately understand books, shows, and all sorts of media in your target language. (No more relying on suspicious subtitles).

Feel satisfied in knowing that you’ve picked up quite a fun and rewarding hobby that can and will expand your life in every possible way.

im not reblogging the original post this is from directly because it's principally about how Germany gets mad at immigrants for identifying with the victims instead of the perpetrators when learning about the Holocaust, which is a good thing to discuss, but this specific example they opened the article with is pretty funny because like. Turkish immigrants. from Turkey. wondering how a society got fanatical enough to genocide an entire race. from Turkey. hmm, i dunno, let's ask literally fucking Hitler in 1939:

Turkish people don't get to play dumb about the concept of genocide. it's that thing your government keeps specifically denying they did to my ancestors

Turkish Basics (Again)

2-20-23

Unfortunately I fell off with Turkish and didn’t end up learning much of anything for the past 14 months. So, today I will be officially restarting my Turkish learning journey.

I want to bulldoze through this because honestly I’d rather be learning Japanese but provided that I literally live in Turkey now, I kind of have to stop putting it off. Besides, it’d be really embarrassing to say I lived in Turkey and not know at least basic Turkish.

All the time i’ve allowed to go by without progressing is all the more reason to get through it ASAP and start speaking. I just gotta throw myself in, full body, head first. No dwelling, only torturing myself to fluency. Yes. I like the sound of that.

So… Time to post a MASS review of basic Turkish and spend ONE day memorizing it so I can learn new content. So like, be prepared for that. <3

Did you know I started sharing free Turkish resources this August? I have created 10 worksheet bundles so far. Each starts with an explanation of a grammatical concept, followed by several pages of exercises. Each exercise also comes with a solution, of course, so you can check and correct your answers at home.

I have decided to create and share these resources for free to make learning Turkish more accessible to everyone. The internet lacks good free resources, and common apps like Duolingo or Busuu have weak Turkish courses.

I hope my worksheets will make it easier for you to learn this beautiful language and connect to the beautiful Turkish culture 🙏🏼
