[@aysenurozdemir2500]

You’re absolutely fantastic! Such progress in just 3 months is insane. Good job!!!

[@elyssespeaks]

thank you so much !!

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

I totally agree with you, my friend. She is really talent

[@faith-sj4vh]

Elysse are you kidding??? As a native Turkish speaker, I can't believe in my ears! You are so fluent, every person in Turkey can understand you perfectly. I have a lot of foreigner friends who lives in Turkey but I can tell you profoundly that non of them can speak Turkish that good, even though they live in here! I'm pretty sure you'll get better than that but I'm so shocked! Hahaha, go girl, umarım burada çok güzel zaman geçirirsin

[@elyssespeaks]

thank you for the nice comment!! yeah, i think my accent is pretty good but I still have a lot to learn :D making sentences can be so hard.

[@faith-sj4vh]

@@elyssespeaks yeah, they even confuse me sometimes haahah long way to go but i cant think of a better way to start

[@mariamhassan8208]

how can i learn turkish and speak fluently like she?

[@Ohio102]

Reis neden ''hahaha'' dedin? Dilini bilmiyormusun? anfjemhdflanfganf demen lazımdı.

[@Ohio102]

@@mariamhassan8208 learn the Türk (Turkish) alpabe (sorry if i misspell) then learn some verry basic words, then try to wach Türk (Turkish) videos with subtitles and try your best to know what verb comes at what time. Thats how i learned English so that should work i hope.

[@volleyballcuts]

As i Turkish native speaker, i'd like to say you're much better than you think. Trust me, it's really big succes in just 3 months that speaking like that. Your accent is really pretty. You are really amazing i hope you'll have great time in here. İyi eğlenceler, kendine iyi bak. 😃

[@elyssespeaks]

thanks so much for the kind words and well wishes! i think my time in Turkey is gonna make me even more excited to learn :”)

[@bodoor8172]

She pronounced sıkıcı the correct way, most foreigners pronounce something else :))

[@zuzulal]

wow your turkish is really great!! tebrik ederim!! also just a little note for 2:14 when you say "birazdan türkiyeye gidiyorum" i think it would be more appropriate to use "yakında" instead of "birazdan". "birazdan" has a more immediate meaning, used for very short amount of time. if you told me "birazdan arkadaşlarımla buluşacağım" i would assume you were going to meet your friends in 10 minutes whereas "yakında arkadaşlarımla buluşacağım" implies near future but NOT immediate.

[@elyssespeaks]

Good tip! thanks so much

[@camgezer]

wow, just wow! your pronunciation is great. you speak amazing and considering turkish is a little confusing language because of its conjugation etc. you are really good ☺by the way u can say 'kendimle gurur duyuyorum'

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

❤❤🥰🥰😊😊

[@ibrahim_7arad]

Yeah she wes very good

you did such a huge progress in just three months. i am so proud of you. go girll

Your progress is truly amazing! Keep going💗

[@StomachAcid]

WOW I am so inspired by you! I love learning languages too! I’m from the US, and I’ve been trying to learn this for almost a year! I could understand almost everything you said, but I definitely can’t speak as well as you! I hope you’re still doing amazing! The way you speak is really clear! Congratulations! You really are amazing!

[@gulsahciner9808]

I love your pronunciation. Keep up with learning and improving yourself. Turkish is easy and really hard to learn at the same time. But you're way too great in 3 months

[@elyssespeaks]

yeah, just like in any language there’s hard and easy aspects :)

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

💕💕👍👍

[@reiper]

i think the "easy and really hard at the same time" goes for all languages tbh

[@llamathedrama1454]

My Turkish has melted ^-^ You are really fluent, keep learning!

[@MultaVerba]

Elysse!!! I've been doing Arabic at college for a year and I can't even imagine speaking that comfortably and fluidly! You've become my inspiration for language learning and I've even started a channel because of you :3

[@user-rr3yw5xp9i]

Harikasın

[@elyssespeaks]

Arabic!! that's so epic man, I'm glad I could be a good influence :P i just looked at your channel, keep it up!

[@mrkoyunreis]

Arabic is a much harder language to learn so don't feel bad!

[@abdulrehmanzahidshah]

I want also to learn turkish plz tell me some sources​@@mrkoyunreis

[@iremoden8253]

Your process seems to be way too good for only 3 months. And wishing you a speedy upgrade in your journey haha. Keep it up ayyyeee!! And btw you can use "kendimle gurur duyuyorum" for conveying you're proud of yourself which would sound more natural 🌻💓

[@sevvalmus]

Hello. This is my first time watching your video. I am a native Turkish speaker. Apart from your easy to understand and correct pronunciation; your grammar, usage of suffixes and word choice is exellent. You didn't make any mistakes with noun cases -which a lot of Turkish learners make, even ones with years of experience-. Also, you used "...sevmiyor değilim." You really impresssed me there. I wouldn't expect that beautiful, and not a bit awkward usage even from Turkish learners who have beeen learning for several years. Sadly my English is not enough to praise your impressive understanding of the structure of Turkish and its nuisances. Have fun on your learning journey. I sense you will discover far more beautiful feautures of Turkish with your understanding that others fail to.

[@Armenian3394]

You are so astounding Elysse! It is shocking to realize how much Turkish you have learned in just 3 months given that it is an agglutinative language and is really tough to learn like Hungarian & Estonian. You never cease to amaze everybody. We love you!

[@ayysl]

native speaker here! 🙂 "sevmiyor değilim" looks like easy but it is a very complex structure, and you sound very organic while using it. believe me there are natives who still struggle with double negatives! you even use "gurur duyuyorum", these verb usages are not easy, when you think about how absurd it may sound to combine the word "pride" and "to hear" together 😆it takes time to master, look at you doing it this early. 👏a little note: "kendimle gurur duyuyorum" "I am proud WITH MYSELF" I hope you enjoy your trip to Turkey. with this progress in 3 months, you'll be able to be very fluent (not sure if it is your goal for the future) but very well done!

[@french9121]

I'm proud of myself= kendimle gurur duyuyorum. And well done!! keep up the good work you're doing great.

[@elyssespeaks]

I’ll remember that! thanks :)

[@gorkemtoraman9626]

Your accent is really fluent keep doing like that. I learned a lot of things from you while German learning, I should be thankful

[@turkanafataliyeva7768]

You are perfect omg😍in just 3 months your accent and speaking is really good😍

[@elyssespeaks]

awww that’s awesome, i’m glad the youtube algorithm did something right!! hahaha

[@simgebalkan7268]

wow, incredible progress in just 3 months! As a native speaker, I can definitely say you did an excellent job, considering Turkish is not the easiest language to learn especially if you're an English speaker. Your grammar and pronunciation are great. Keep going!

You spoke almost fluently ,great job done !

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

I totally agree with you, my friend

[@nrtn_c]

I can't believe this Elysse. Your turkish is fantastic for someone who has only been learning for 3 months When you say "so I started 3 months ago" don't use "peki". In this situation you wouldn't actually use anything. Here "peki" is more suitable for a question. "So are you going to come to?" would in some cases be "Peki sende gelecek misin?". Hope this helped❤

[@ahmedelhilali8724]

It looks like you're pretty much figured Turkish out in 3 months. Grammer, emphasis, vocabulary, suffixes, all were almost perfect. You didn't even make the common mistake of using wrong versions of the right suffixes which usually takes foreigners to figure out longest. I guess your channel name speaks for itself. You can speak! :)

You're doing a great job! Do you plan to keep studying until you're fluent and what level do you aim? Also protip, in Turkish, you don't speak a language, you rather "know" it For example: -Hangi dilleri biliyorsun? -Almanca, İspanyolca ve Portekizce biliyorum. A small detail no one would point out but I thought you might wanna know :)
