Trying to learn another language is never easy. I think that my experience in learning languages has definitely benefited me through this experience because I surprisingly can speak pretty well. Writing is something that I have not spent very much time on this semester. I am not sure that was really in my learning plan though because I knew that this is a rather short-term commitment for me, with graduation around the corner. Mainly I wanted to be able to speak on basic terms in case I visited and also because I do know quite a few people who speak Turkish.
In terms of reading, I have gotten the sounds of the letters down, so I can effectively pronounce words and if the words are in my vocabulary, I can understand. One thing I have struggled with recognizing is the conjugation of verbs. In Turkish, words are often combined to conjugate them and I have found a little bit of struggle in being able to tell what the root of the word is.
