#turkish learning

beach studyblr, bournemouth

I go by Static or Lain (they/them), I’m 22 years old, and this is the little langblr I started as an aspiring polyglot.

For right now this is just a WIP introduction post, but I am studying more right now so I found it fitting to make one that goes over the languages I’m learning!

My native language is English and I’ve been learning Canadian French as a second language casually for about 10 years (and yet I’m still at about A2!!) - it's become the hardest language for me because my education was so bad, so I've decided to pick up some others instead.

My target languages (including, but not limited to):

American Sign Language (ASL)

Korean

Polish

Russian

Turkish

Romanian

I want to get more familiar with ASL specifically. Hopefully someday soon I can say that I’m above A2/Level 1 in some of these languages!!

Some other languages I’m not currently focused on, but am extremely interested in learning are:

Mandarin Chinese

Japanese

My big interests right now include languages (obviously), science (especially life sciences!), archival work, and video games.

I think that’s all for now… stick around for more I guess!

Turkish word of the day.

They have Spanish, which I have used personally. They also have Arabic, Turkish, German, Greek, Italian, Swahili and French.

Si hablas español y quieres aprender inglés, LanguageTransfer tiene un curso para eso.

It really explains grammar in a way that makes sense, helps you see parallels between your language and your target language, and helps you discover useful patterns.

A fair warning, at least for Spanish, the first episode was him talking about how important and superior the series is. It’s annoying, but after that it really, really does help. So give it a chance.

I'm hungry - |ben| açım (hungry - aç)

I'm thirsty - |ben| susadım (thirsty - susuz)

I'm cold - üşüdüm (cold - soğuk)

You're cute - tatlısın

I'm tired - yurgunum
