7 Days on Duolingo, Can 2 Polyglots Learn Turkish & Spanish Languages?

We find people with incorrect Turkish pronunciation more lovable. We don't explain this much to encourage you, but in fact, those who speak incorrectly are loved more.

[@dacay]

I know Turkish natives with worse pronunciation :) I think this statement alone speaks a lot.

[@yenibolumofficial]

@@dacay Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand people who come from other cities in Turkey. This is because there may be names that the locals decide or accept among themselves for anything there, and we don't know them Decently. Let me give an example: "Little bit" is meaning "Azıcık" in Turkish but in my city... we are saying sometimes (and old persons are saying generally) "iiicük". Im living in Zonguldak but if i go to İstanbul and say it to another guy... he will say "Yo bro, What do you mean? Speak Turkish! :D".

[@PinkPanther1420]

I have used Duolingo for a year trying to learn Spanish, and just like Genesia stated it would be extremely beneficial if there was a grammar section that explained things as opposed to guessing. I was forced to seek out other (paid) classes in order to get a better understanding and have some basic questions answered.

[@minglichua8936]

Hey, you could try asking Chatgpt to explain concepts that you are unclear. I'm also learning Spanish and I use Duolingo in conjunction with Chatgpt, as well as other resources. I hope this helps ❤

Bir Türk olarak bu güzel Türkçemizde en zor şey bence ekler. Çünkü dilimizde çok fazla ek var. Mesela bazı yurtdışından gelen turistler Türkçe konuşurken "Ben ekmek yemek" diyor. (Örnek) Bu eklerin çok fazla versiyonu var. Bu da Türkçeyi çok çok zor bir dil haline getiriyor. Ve öğrenenler için gerçekten çok fazla baş ağrıtıyor. Üstelik Türkçe'deki bir diğer zor olan şeyin resmi ve çoğul konuşma kısmı olduğunu düşünüyorum. Mesela "Merhaba, Nasılsınız?" hem o yerde birden fazla kişi varken de kullanabilirsin ve tanımadığın bir kişiyle resmi şekilde kullanırken de. Üstelik İspanyolca öğrenmeye çalışıyorum. Gerçekten Türkler için kolay bir dil. Türksen zaten avantajın var bir sürü dil öğrenmeye. Mesela Türkler Korece, Japonca, Moğolca, Azerbaycanca, İngilizce, İspanyolca, Portekizce öğrenmekte o kadar zorlanmıyor. Fakat benim için Almanca, Felemenkçe ve Fransızca gerçekten çok zor diller. İngilizce konuşanlar için çok kolay olmalarına rağmen. Bunun nedeni bizim dilimizin yazıldığı gibi okunabilir olmasıdır. Fakat bu bahsettiğim diller yazıldığı gibi okunmuyor. Mesela Fransızca'da "comment" kelimesi "kumon" olarak telaffuz ediliyor. Okuduğunuz için teşekkür ederim. Türkçe öğrenenlere başarılar dilerim, bol şanslar.

[@Bemrecprk]

Turkish may feel challenging at first, but it’s much more approachable than it seems. Its grammar is highly systematic, with very few irregularities, and its agglutinative nature (similar to Korean, Japanese, Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian and so on) allows for flexible word order. Once you learn to recognize word roots, understanding and building vocabulary becomes like solving a fun puzzle. One area that might be challenging is that understanding vowel harmony, which creates versions of suffixes based on the last syllable in the word. But with practice, it may become second nature. Turkish also has no gendered words or articles, making it simpler than languages like English, German, or Spanish in many ways. Pronunciation is generally balanced, without total soft or harsh sounds. Plus, some sounds that will feel familiar, like Ü, Ö (from German or French), R (Softer Spanish R) and Ş, Ç, J, and R'at the end (similar to Slavic languages). The only truly unique sound is I/ı (dotless i), which is similar to the English "schwa" sound or Russian "bl". Being a master can be difficult, but I believe that it can broaden one's horizons to languages in a different way with its unique and different features.

[@danbarbosa6940]

@@Bemrecprk I am Brazilian and I found out about vowel harmony when learning Turkish, i didn't know about it before that but recently i discovered that in my Accent (which is an specific Accent from northeast which covers several states countryside) we actually speak with vowel harmony, But it's only spoken though. i did it naturally my whole Life and i didn't even know about hahaha

[@loerre]

​@@danbarbosa6940 woww, that's really an interesting and a thrilling coincidence!

[@Bemrecprk]

​@@danbarbosa6940 Wow, I have heard that some languages using a lot of suffixes (usually affixes) have vowel harmony or some similar logic. Unfortunately, I have no experience with Portuguese but I have been studying Spanish for a long time and I know that all tense suffixes change depending on the end of the verb (-ar, er- ir). But if you are talking about whole words in your accent, including nouns and adverbs. Certainly, it sounds very interesting. Because when I checked the wikipedia about this issue, Portuguese was not on the list.

Meanwhile, take Arabic on Duolingo for 7 days and it will still have you making random Arabic grunting noises with no meaning

[@kyrakia5507]

Why? Because of the grammar or the writing system being too hard for learners or do you think it’s particularly bad compared to Turkish?

[@user-cn7ls4hm9Alnajih]

​@@kyrakia5507because of pronunciation aspect, Arabic has some sounds that don't exist most of world's languages, and those sounds are like the language root so they are everywhere even in basic day to day words

[@kyrakia5507]

@@user-cn7ls4hm9Alnajih That makes sense, someone using Duolingo for Arabic would do well to learn the pronunciation elsewhere

[@NswerGilmore]

As a Turkish girl who's polyglot ( C1 English,B1 German, A2 Korean, A1 French) Turkish is one of the easiest in grammar wise but pronounciation can be hard for foreigners because they don't pronounce the words directly in their native languaces and a lot of them don't have the letters "ğ,ö,ü,".

[@benniemk]

Rather than for beginning a language, for me Duolingo is good for practising, revising and expanding vocabulary for a language I already learn(t) and it also helps with some more colloquial things when you know only the 'high' written forms in some languages. For grammar it is useless which is why I would use it alongside another course

[@oggysan5013]

Do you have any other app recommendation for learning other languages beside english? The grammar has been a problem for me but i still couldn't find any other app (there's so many to try and im not sure which one that actually has it)

[@DecadeofDecay]

7:30 I agree with Genesia. There is some similarities between English and German. As French, I'm so confused by the fact there are two verbs for "to be" in Spanish and the fact a sentence becomes all feminine/masculine and singular/plural depending on the subject. Like "how much" becomes "cuanta(s) / cuanto(s)", so you have to think of the subject before mention it.

[@oggysan5013]

I have the same issue with genesia. Personally, fuo is good if you're already familiar with the language, but the app itself doesn't really give u an explanation for how the grammar or things you need to deeply understand the language. It's basically you learning new words, putting it together and guess what it means (at least that's what i get from trying to learn spanish n Chinese from it) I tried english course, but because I already familiarize myself with English bc i also learn it at school I don't have much problem but still, no grammar explanation (as far as i remember)

[@Rising_Pho3nix_23]

The thing I don't really like so far after almost a month (45-60min per day) is that it doesn't know that you have a problem area. Like for me in Dutch, I struggle with heb, hebben, heeft. I will get 4 or 5 questions wrong in a row, then it says "lesson complete, well done!". Like no. Let's go back and teach me this stuff. It really needs to teach you about infinitums and stems. Otherwise all you're doing is assembling a puzzle without knowing why the pieces are cut that way. Do I use "de" or "het"? I have no idea but "het" is the only option, so I pick that, without understanding anything. If I can't tell which one to use, have I even learned the meaning? Does it even count as a vocabulary list? And we get weird sentences like (and this is literally one of them) "Did the cow read the newspaper"

[@coltonmykael]

"I don't think those words translate well in real life." I have to disagree, I can't tell you how many times I had to tell somebody "I have apples in my suitcase" when I was in Colombia lol
