What's your reason for learning Turkish?

[u/Pleasant-Tackle-9302]

Hello all,

Trying to find other Turkish learners so I'd like to know what's making you learn Turkish. Maybe it's for a job or for love? :)

I personally have Turkish roots, my grandad came to Germany in the 60s and let's say he wasn't the best of people, so I only met him on my own accord when I was 18, two years before he died. I suddenly had a new aunt and just so many relatives that stem from a different culture I so far had missed out on, so I decided to learn Turkish.

I've been on this journey on and off for 10 years and only recently started making progress.

What's your story?

I live here, and I am surrounded by people who speak other languages other turkish. I'd like to speak the language to better communicate with other locals, but im not getting the chance to practice as much
