Hi Neisha. We met a woman in Finnans Bank talking to Ayse in fluent Turkish. We asked her how long it took her to become as fluent as that and she said 16 years!!!! Hope she was joking.... Anne. x
Aggree that it is so difficult to become as fluent Turkish speaker. The main reason, I guess, our language is in ural-altay language family, while English is a mix of kelt, norman, germen, latin. I took lectures in english language during my 4 years univercity education plus 12 years communication, still, even me could not know english exactly in fluent level. Alex who is a soccer, have been playing in Fenerbahce for 7 years, I could not heard even a one single Turkish word
