Shoutout to the brother who bought Xioma the juice. Bro is such a nice person. All the goodness in the world to him.

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.

Turkey is a wildly underrated country. Easily in my top 5 countries i have ever been. Beautiful

I worked a lot with Turks. They were always so friendly and vibrant with me. Real dad energy. Never had that growing up but very fond of Turkish people because of it, twenty years later. Lol

Halkımla gurur duydum ya. Ne kadar güzel davranıyoruz dilimizi, kültürümüzü öğrenmeye çalışan birine. Herkesin nezaketi, güler yüzü, eli açıklığı…Türkçe konuşmasa bile gerçi bundan çok farklı olmazdı eminim tavırları. Gerçekten gurur verici. Tabi şu an ülkece biraz zor zamanlardan geçiyoruz video da her şeyin 1-3$ olması içimi acıtmadı değil fakat daha güzel günleri görecek inşallah ülkemin güzel insanı.

Turkish is an amazing language. My father is the US Ambassador to Türkiye. Such incredible people. Istanbul and Ankara are never what most expect.

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.

The guy at the corn stall, knows dangerous people that help those that are foreign. He was being very kind offering you if you have issues with anyone that he would help you. Very kind to see that kind of love and respect abroad.

And that’s why I learned Turkish, because everyone is brilliant and very hospitable. Since learning Turkish and being able to connect further, I’m always itching to go back and experience more of this beautiful and welcoming nation, and the freebies once they realise you’re developing a love for their culture.

I love turkey as an Irishman been to instanbul a few times and can’t wait to go back. Turkish people are friendly and funny, great lads 👍🏼

Your ability to speak Chinese fluently, along with other languages, impressed me, so I subscribed to your channel. Later, I wondered if you also know Turkish, so I searched for "Turkish" on your channel and was pleasantly surprised to see a new video related to Turkey. Turkish is indeed a difficult language, and you have done an excellent job. I'm glad you got to experience Turkish hospitality. Her zaman bekleriz :)

[turnschlaeppli]

It's crazy that you met Ali Usta. He's got really famous in germany because he speaks it well

[Grindermetalhead]

Wow, dude. I'm from Serbia. I knew that Serbian language has a lot of Turkish loanwords, since Serbia was once a part of the Ottoman Empire, but hearing Turkish people speak made me realize just how many of them we have.

[filmaidan]

Americanlıyım. Bazı Türkçe bilmiyorum ama hala öğreniyorum. Çok güzel, videodaki hemen hemen her şeyi anlıyorum. Lütfen daha çok Türk video çek 🙏

[devinmychan]

These just make me smile. The reaction from the people just spreads back through the channel. Thank you for doing it and I will keep watching.

İstanbul is my favorite city! Turkish language is beautiful. Love from Norway

[jasong]

As an Australian I visited Turkey 2021 - amazing country. Very jealous of your ability to pick up the language so fast!

[wesleygarrett]

I've literally bought food from this guy as my wife is turkish and grew up in Istanbul. We went a couple of years ago, and he is still there!!! Amazing experience. Teşekkürler!

Merhaba arkadaş nasılsın
Biraz Türkçe biliyorum 🇹🇷✌🏻😂
I'm from Cluj-Napoca Romania 🇷🇴 but made a lot of Turkish friends here and I am learning the language now
Hope this year to go meet with a friend of mine in Eskişehir

[rockerdude]

The more I learn about Turkish culture the more I realize a lot of Mexican stuff is similar or came from there. The bread are bolillos that I grew up eating with coffee. Great to see you traveling the world!
