Why Turkish Kai?? Seems like the oddball of that group of languages you speak!

@deesilvs Here in Berlin, we have (at a guess) a couple hundred thousand Turkish people, some streets are like little Istanbul. My boss is a turk, and it might be helpful with my clients, many of whom are also Turkish.

Interesting -How are you finding it as a non romantic language? Google tells me it's similar to Korean - next endeavour for you me thinks...
kaicito:
@deesilvs Ok, sorry - I went on two weeks vacation with hardly any time for SG, so I missed this. To tell the truth, I find it pretty hard going, but I'm trying. I have a history of starting to learn a language (wouldn't you know I did in fact start with Korean a few years ago) and not sticking with it, but this time I told my boss about it, so I have to keep going. Duolingo has it set up so you're always in competition, working your way up in "leagues" and stuff, and once I had picked the low-hanging fruit in Turkish, I branched out into Italian, where the going is much easier. I'm sticking with Turkish now. Having done Korean (up to a point), I don't see the similiarity, maybe it's in the grammar.

Hahah. Telling someone you started something is a great motivator! You're much more multilingual than most I'd guess, great work
