I just used to hand mine over to Rukiye at the Oztoklu Restaurant and she decided whether to reply 'Evet' or 'Hayir' for me.  ;)

Is that not cheating in terms of learning Turkish?? ;D ;D

Mind you it's what I do with my Turkish friends.  Never yet replied yes to anything.. 2235, Citroen, Fiat, Turkcell, TTNET, Turktelecom, Uncle Tom Cobbly and All.

I could just about decipher the messages but I left it up to her to decide whether or not it was a good deal.

If you have an Iphone download a free app Google translate , It has a huge A on the Icon, or any  phone that has apps actually.
Once you have the App and you get a message you can't understand just press on it and the copy sign comes up press that , then fire up your App and once it opened press the entry area and the paste sign pops up , tap on that and your message will appear before your eyes,then all you have to do is push the blue ok button waalaa it translates the whole thing .

Brilliant.
Its only downfall it needs wifi or internet but if it only messages they can wait till you find wifi.

So simple even i can do it.

Not only that you can change the languages , fantastic.

Hope this helps.
Alan.

If you have a smart phone you can install google translate and copy and paste the text into translate,
9 times out of 10 the translation makes no sense at all though!
