   Itis not that hard, but it is quite different from the languages that you already know. It seems like you pick up languages easily so do not worry, by the time you leave you will have a few words under your belt.
   
   Just have fun

   It depends in which level you will learn. Turkish language has one of the most difficult grammers in all languages. In many aspects, grammatically it is like ancient greek and latin. Words themselves are different from european languages although there are many words coming from french and english. The amount of tenses is about more than 100. And the pronunciation will be quite difficult for many native speakers of other languages. But it is pronunced as it is written like in spanish. And there are no irregularities like many other languages. I can say that turkish language is a language implementation of formal logic, every single piece in the language usage and construction has a meaning which multiplies itself in relation to other parts of sentences. There are many things which you are able to say in turkish language that you even cannot think in other languages. But for this extent you should know the language really well. The literature is great and impossible to follow without knowing the language really good which may require about 20 years of practice. You have to think something always before saying it since the predicate is at the end like some cases in german language. There is no article or gender difference (for god\'s sake). You don\'t have to mention the personal pronoun like in spanish, verb conjugation denotes both person and tense. There are many indirect personal references like in french, like \"vous\" in \"combien je vous doit?\" or \"en\" in \"j\'en ai un\" in french. It is difficult to construct sentences even for a native speaker in case of talking about a tricky subject. But the language is delicious.
   
   But for basic understanding, I can assure you that you will go fast. You need practice like all languages.
   
   And don\'t believe when they say turkish language is mainly a suffixed language, you do everything by adding suffixes. It is just as suffixed as french.
   
   You can ask to me by email: bora_kanber_2005@yahoo.com. I am a native speaker in a very high level.

   We prefer "Turkish Raki" but it is OK to buy us a bottle of cold "Efes" beer to keep us working
