I am studying linguistics and Turkish is always used in the examples in textbooks. I know Turkish is an agglutinating language, which is different from every other language I have ever dabbled with. I am currently in Arabic 302 and I have heard that Turkish was heavily influenced by Arabic, but we will see just how many similarities there are as the semester progresses. I find the language, as well as the culture, beautiful and definitely unique. Turkey is interesting because it sandwiched in between the Western world and the Arab/Islamic nations. I am looking forward to learning Turkish on my own time for 110, as well as gaining valuable language learning skills in 105.
