"How are you? - I am Turk" Sounds like a missunderstanding of the initial question, but is a clever reference to Atatürk's "Ne Mutlu Türküm Diyene" quote meaning the man is actually happy (mutlu). "I am Turk" can also convey a state of deep inner depression engendered by the physical and intellectual existence within the boundaries of growingly divided country driving towards a hopeless future while being painfully aware of the continued slippage from democracy to autocracy. Either way, a profound answer

As an American military member serving in Türkiye, I will admit that we were living within an artificially created American environment among the Turkish people. We had our military club on the military bases and stores on the military bases for buying food and clothing. I went exploring around the Turkish cities, and I encountered Turkish people who could speak English. They introduced me to others who spoke English until eventually I met the lady who became my wife. It is completely due to my own laziness that I am not fluent with the Turkish language by now. I should have immersed myself completely in the language and the culture for a year without anyone giving me assistance in English.

[@andybarr6751]

This is a huge factor holding Turkey back. I lived in Ankara for about 3 and a half years. It is hard to overstate how much this affects the competitiveness of the country. I have witnessed so many misunderstandings and missed connections at conferences, exhibitions, and other international events. It is very frustrating. Yes. The language is fundamentally challenging for a native Turkish speaker to learn. But other peoples around the world, including Turkic ones, have managed it. I found it much easier to have English conversations in Baku or with people from Central Asia than people in Turkey. It is possible to reach this level, but it takes serious investment. My wife (from Turkey) was shocked when we were in a small village in rural Oman and people there spoke English well. This wasn't a place with tons of resources, but they did teach English early. Another issue is that many Turkish people are unwilling to to pay the wages to bring proper English teachers to their classrooms. There was a place that offered English classes near me in Ankara and most of the teachers were from Kenya and Nigeria. I would sometimes talk to these teachers when I saw them in the park or around the neighborhood, and it was often hard for me as a native English speaker (with experience around the world) to understand the teachers. I also would see people from Arab countries and only mediocre English skills tutoring giving classes in Turkey. I have no ill will towards these teachers, but I have seen these cases a few times, and not seen effective results from them. Teaching effectively doesn't just happen accidentally because someone speaks English. It takes intention to make a program that works.

[@GurbetciAdam61]

This is primarily the responsibility of the government educational system, in addition to the process of dubbing all films, programs and computer systems. The Turkish person does not hear any foreign voice at all, in fact, to the point that if you spoke very slightly different Turkish or if you pronounced some letters differently, they would not understand at all.

[@safakterzi]

There are a few reasons: - The language education system, like that of many other countries, is terrible. Even many English teachers struggle to talk well. - Turkey was never colonized, hence there is no history of foreign language supremacy. (Some may argue that the French (19th century) and American culture (second half of the twentieth century) had a colonizing effect, although this was limited to the "educated" people and elites. And it had a more stylistic influence, because most of these people are also bad in English.) - The Turkish language is very dominant in every field of life - The modern Lingua Franca is unrelated to the Turkish language. They are not from the same family. The syntax of English and Turkish are almost completely opposite. In English, sentences are written in reverse (from a Turkish perspective). If the Azerbaijani, Uzbek or even Farsi language would be the current Lingua Franca, Turks would speak it effortlessly.

Her bir ülke için geziye giden bir insan o ülkenin dilini öğrenmek zorunda mı? İngilizce evrensel bir dil ve dünyanın her yerinde kullanılıyor. Hangi mantık ile bu yorumu yapıyorsunuz anlaşılmıyor cidden.

[@LEBEWESEN123]

Turkish is not like other European languages, it's of course not easy for a turk to speak in English..... It's not familiar with this language like indo European ones

[@Turkishle]

You are right!

[@menage_a_trois]

The girl at 1:08 is not Turkish - she’s Black, African origin. The Turkic ethnicity has no Black race in it. Turks are WHITE people. this video doesn't represent us correctly.

[@Karakulak1071]

Well, in a way it's good to see the Turks aren't being colonized through the english language, keep up the good work guys. p.s. the english pronunciation keeps the tongue tied, what's with the "th" sound

[@Turkishle]

You are rightt!

[@busslayerr]

In fact, if we look at our past, this is, in a way, the reason why people do not speak much English. Language or any rules were not imposed on the Turks. Or not colonized

sorulan soruların ingilizce yeterlilik ölçmeyle uzaktan yakından alakası dahi yok bence. gerçi 10 üzerinden 5-6 diyenler how old are you gibi neredeyse türkçeleşmiş bir soru kalıbına bile cevap verememiş. üzücü.

Şimdi görüyorsunuzdur, yabancı videolara Türkler yorum yaptığı zaman resmen İngilizcenin ırzına geçiyoruz. Sırf İngilizce yorum yazacağız diye grammer ya da kelimeler birbirine giriyor "I am Turkey, me Turkey" ne demek tam olarak ?? "Ben Türkiyeyim" demek oluyor bu ve çok komik bir izlenim veriyor. Çoğu kişi yorumlara böyle yazıyor ve bu hiç iyi değil. Ülkemizde çoğu insanın İngilizcesi kötü biliyorum ama sırf ingilizce yorum yapacağız diye şu ingilizceyi katletmeyelim🤦🏻. Ve eksikliğimiz varsa da hiç yazmayıp da Türkçe yazsak daha makul. Ya da en azından klavye de çeviriyi kullanabiliriz.

Video'nun önizleme fotoğrafına siyahi bir bireyi neden koyuyorsun? Kökeni Türk değil biliyorsun, Afrikadan geliyor. Bizim milleti temsil ediyor mu? Etmiyor. ''Do Turkish People Speak English'' isimli bir videoya Türk halkının tamamını temsil etmeyen bir Irktan bireyi dahil etmen bile saçma ve anlamsız, 1:08 kız Türk değil. Türkiye'yi yabancıların eline vermeye yemin ettiniz sanırım. Ama izin vermicez - Hepsi gidecekler.

Turkish might be her first language as her English wasn’t great. She’s in the thumbnail so the video gets more views. Kolay 👍🏽

Videodaki kız benim arkadaşım ve kendisi melez. Kendisi bir Türk. Türkiye'de doğdu ve büyüdü. Türk milleti olarak bilmediğimiz konulardan duyar kasmayı neden bu kadar çok seviyoruz emin değilim gerçekten. Insanlar melez olabilir, burada doğup büyüyen yabancılar da çok gördüm, başka ülkelerde doğup büyüyen ve buraya gelip Türk olan da. Çok ırkçı bir yaklaşımla gelip tanımadığınız insanlar hakkında çıkarım bulunmak doğru değil. Hâlâ kaçıncı yüzyılda yaşadığımızı sanıyorsunuz?

[@sibelbayar523]

Sayın zat evet o benim kızım ve annesi Türk- kürt melezi dir. Benim kızım senin gibileri temsil etmez sen korkma! Benim kızım senin gibilerden 1000 kat daha vatanperverdir. Benim kızım Türk kardeşleriyle de kürt kardeşleriyle de ve sayamadigim laz, Çerkez gibi diger kardesleriyle de omuz omuza savaşıp vatanını korur. Sen bunları dert etme. İleriye bakarken geride bırakılan tarihinizi unutmayın. Senin köklerin kim bilir nerenin cumhuriyetinde çıkacak bilemezsin. O yüzden Türkiye cumhuriyeti kimliğini taşıyorsak ve yaşıyorsak türküz. Çok seviyorsan vatanini benim kızım nasıl başarılı bir şekilde temsil ediyorsa vatanini, sen de vatana millete hayırlı işler yap.
