"Görüşemeyeceklermiş" = "I heard that they are not gonig to be able to see each other" ./That is meaning power of Turkish language. If you write at browser you will see. And I like your channel so much

Man Turkish is SO underrated - so beautiful!
Really considering making it my 8th language after I learn Japanese..

Ben de iki yıll önce Türkçe öğrenmeye başladım ve simdi çok geliştirdim bence turkish çok guzel ve kolay bir dili 💖

[DennisHuntersons]

Your Turkish has definitely improved! Congratulations! (I'm a native Turkish speaker)

Ben ırak türkmeniyim
İşin ironik tarafı ki Türkçeyi anlamıyorum asla😂😂😂😂
Dilimizin kelimeleri benzer ve aynıdır dilbilgisinde ama birşey anlamam çünkü
Türkler elli keilme iki saniyede söylerler çok hızlı konuşyorlar
Ve (ironik tarafı) kelimesini tercüme ettim
🐸
Kerkükten bütün Türk dostlarıma selamlar🇹🇷❤️

I used to think Turks were Arabs until my workplace sent me to Turkey for a month and a half in 2016. For three days, I begged my managers "can you not send me?" 🙂 The first shock I experienced was in Turkish. Turkish did not resemble Arabic. In fact, it did not resemble it at all. I don't know why, but I expected hot cities, men in skirts, women with their faces covered 😅 They are very helpful. They talk a lot. They can get angry very easily. Touristic places can be deceiving in terms of impressions. I have lived among Turks for years. They are very friendly. You can make friends very easily. They are good people. I was sick and could not go to work for three days. My friends brought me pots of food every evening because they knew I was alone. At the end of three days, I had food for a week 😊 There are cats everywhere. They're absolutely in love with cats. And Cats love them too 😅 My retirement is a few years away. My current dream is to settle in Turkey when I retire. Let's see what time will show.

as a native Turkish speaker, i am happy to see you guys learning our language. It is quite hard but not impossible. Also it is a rich language in terms of vocabulary. If you need any help or have any question about Turkish language, I am ready to help you. Türkiye'den sevgiler..

Kazakh and turkish languages ​​belong to the type of synthetic agglutinative languages ​​of the turkic group of the altai family. They have a complex and rich morphology. Usually the words in them consist of a stem and affixes added to it (suffix + ending), of which there are at least two or three

我一个土耳其人觉得你口语一点问题都没有 说得很流利！ 非常厉害。我大概一年前开始学中文

[agnessmsae]

Thank you Zoe for this video, your video on how to move from B2 to C2 in French really helped me alot and I have no doubt that this is going to do the same in my Turkish journey. Çok teşekkür ederim.

[theartsycalligrapher]

Thank you Zoe for your insightful plan! It is my goal to learn turkish this year, hopefully I will succeed❤

[qiziqkop]

Native Qazaq speaker here. Turkish, as well as any other Turkic language, is the easy to learn for me. It has more Arabic/Persian loanwords than Qazaq does, as Qazaq tends to have more Turkic/Mongolic and even Chinese vocabulary. The difference in phonology requires some adjustment, but it takes very little time. The rest is pretty much the same in both languages.

[daysandwords]

Don't tempt me! Turkish has been that language that somehow makes me want to upend everything and forget Swedish and Spanish ever existed haha.

[ida]

Zoe gerçekten harikasın 🌼 Benim ana dilim Türkçe, şuan üniversitemde ve bir akademide Japonca ve Arapça öğreniyorum, ileriki dönemde Korece eklemeyi düşünüyorum. Mandarin gözümü korkutuyor fakat senin videonu izledikten sonra öğrenmeyi çok istedim. Gerçekten çok yetenekli ve çalışkansın. Dil ve çevirmenlik öğrencisi olarak benim için harika bir örneksin ✨

[Khorasan_Turco]

Zoe, thank you for helping people, turkish is a language that you will really love, friends, I recommend it to all of you as a horasan turk.
(You speak Turkish really well)

[invisible]

love you zoe 😊 I will learn turkish language this year ❤

[puertoruiz]

Believe it or not, I listen to Turkish ASMR. Pamuk ASMR is my favorite channel.

[melikeacar]
