As the year ends, I have taken up learning Turkish and loving it so much! I'd been looking at one or two Turkish television shows on Netflix and those and three Korean ones make me want to know more about the languages. I decided to start with the former and will also learn about the latter. When I was in high school, I disliked learning languages. But now I am in love with it. It is twofold for me. It is one of listening to the way that letters form into meanng and secondly, the way words form for one country in comparison to another. It is all so beautiful. I am certain however, that if I were dropped in Turkey right now I would be overwhelmed trying to gauge even simple words. Hwever, I think that that would be a big part of the excitement to immerse myself in the new to me. Deciding that I would do something for myself has been wonderful. I work at Turkish ever single day for at least an hour. I find myself thinking about the language even when I am asleep. I would say that it is changing my thinking. Lol. I will not learn a second language while learing this one. I need to feel comfortable enough to make full sentances before I would consider another.
