Merhaba arkadaşlar,

Something funny happened to me the other day. My friend was working on her thesis and I wanted to send her some good wishes (she's half Turkish so I practise with her). I wanted to type "kolay gelsin" into translate just to see if it meant what I thought, but forgot the 'y' so it just said "kola gelsin", which it translated to "Bring on the cola".

It seems that from now on I'll only drink cola when I'm with her just so I can say that. 😆

But I realised there's some other similar words that can cause mixups, like "kazak" and "kaza".

Have you ever noticed anything like this or has it happened to you? Definitely helps me to not forget a word ever again!

Hello all,

Trying to find other Turkish learners so I'd like to know what's making you learn Turkish. Maybe it's for a job or for love? :)

I personally have Turkish roots, my grandad came to Germany in the 60s and let's say he wasn't the best of people, so I only met him on my own accord when I was 18, two years before he died. I suddenly had a new aunt and just so many relatives that stem from a different culture I so far had missed out on, so I decided to learn Turkish.

I've been on this journey on and off for 10 years and only recently started making progress.

What's your story?
