I think that reading and writing are just as important to learning a language as speaking is. Although I have had less practice with reading and writing, I enjoy it. I find that it helps with my pronunciation as well as understanding context. There may be a sentence that wher I know 50% of the words, but I can understand the meaning of the sentence by inference, looking at the word order, suffixes, and context. I also enjoy reading in Turkish, even though I may not understand all of the words, if my accent is good, it seems like I know what I’m doing.
