You want to learn Turkish? As a foreign student here in Northern Cyprus, you’d probably be better off knowing the local language, and that is Turkish. Lefkosh can help you with this! 5 easy tips of learning the Turkish language.

1) Motivation. You need to know exactly why do you want to learn this language. Reasons may vary. It can be that you need to find work or there’s someone you like who speaks in Turkish or even to add to your own collection if you are already speaking multiple of languages. When you know this reason, now to the next step;

2) Apps. You can’t go about learning something without practice, so the best and easiest way is through an app. I recommend Duolingo! Download it right away, and start to practice at least one skill every day. You will notice a huge difference after just one week!

3) Friends. You need to communicate with Turkish speakers. Find yourself a friend with whom you can speak with in Turkish or maybe even a crush

4) Translators or Dictionaries. I personally learned English by translating every word hundreds of times until I started to speak! It took me three months to be able to start confident sentences.

5) Breaking the language barrier. If you have this problem, first thing you need to do is to stop thinking about it! Who cares if you are making mistakes? It’s better then not to learn it at all! You can start with bad grammar, and it will not take you forever to learn enough to stop making easy mistakes.
