Can anyone share a good Turkish language class?

Boz University (I think) was recommended, I think Deep also told me he has one he's going to take with Just English.

How did you expats go about learning Turkish? Do you find the language difficult or easy?

All positive suggestions welcome聽

do not deal with conjugaison. instead, use verbs as they are ...

normally, in turkish when you want to say "i want to go home" it is :

Ben eve gitmek istiyorum. (its ok if you dont use "BEN")

Ben means I
Eve means to home (normally "ev" means home but "eve" means to home)
Gitmek means go
陌stiyorum means (want but normally verb is istemek - we use it as istiyorum! (when we want to say i want) )

See, thats harsh. Instead, only for the beginning, make your sentences like:

Ben ev gitmek istiyor
Ben ev gitmek istemek

We will still understand what you are trying to say. And this will create time for you to learn more, actually. So, mind learning new verbs and vocabulary. Thats all.
