My experience learning Arabic, Persian and Turkish: tips and pitfalls 

Türkiye is in center of world. Turkish is not a middle eastern language.

Linguists' opinions on Turkish Grammar Prof. David Cuthell : “I know many foreign languages. Among these languages, Turkish is such a different language that it is as if a hundred high mathematics professors came together to make Turkish. A dozen words are produced from one root. Turkish is such a language that it is a language of emotion, thought, logic and philosophy in itself.” Paul Roux: "Turkish is a mathematical language full of thought and intellect." *Moliere: "Turkish is language to be admired; you can express a great deal by a few words." *French Turcologist Jean Deny : "The Turkish language suggests that it was formed as a result of the consultation and discussion of an elite committee of scholars. Turkish verbs have such a peculiarity that they cannot be found in any of the Arian languages. This feature is the power to form new words with affixes”. Jean Deny *Herbert W. Duda:“Turkish, which expresses all thoughts and feelings in the most perfect way, has such a rich vocabulary that everyone admires this language and accepts it as the most perfect scientific language.'”. *Herbert Jansky: “Turkish language is an extremely rich and easy-to-understand, easy-to-learn scientific language in terms of vocabulary, phonetics, orthography, syntax and vocabulary.” Prof. Dr. Johan Vandewalle;, now I have learned about 50 languages ​​. After learning languages ​​with very different systems, the language that I still admire the most, the language that I find most logical and mathematical is Turkish.” Receiving the Babylonian World Award, Belgium's Ghent University Center for Eastern Languages and Cultures, Dr. Johann Van De Walle explains why he is interested in Turkish today: “Turkish can be learned in a very short time. The rules in chess are logical, simple and few in number. Even a seven-year-old can learn to play chess. Despite this convenience, the person playing chess does not get bored throughout his life. The game possibilities are endless. It is a very magical feature that the same situation exists in the Turkish grammar system. Turkish grammar is a language that has a regular and unexceptional character almost as much as mathematics. johan Vandewalle (The text is written by him. It is written by him in Turkish.) “… I think that a native Turkish speaker thinks in short sentences, and when speaking, he builds complex structures by connecting these short sentences in various ways. This "tendency to connect sentences" can be weak in some speakers, and strong in others, almost to the extent of a disease. The linguistic structures that emerged in this last situation reflect the superior possibilities of the human mind in the best way. Although I have studied many languages ​​belonging to different language groups, I can say that I have never come across a structure that fascinates me as much as complex sentence structures in Turkish. If you let me be a little sentimental, I sometimes say to myself, “I wish Chomsky had learned Turkish when he was younger too…”. I'm sure then modern linguistics would have been shaped according to Turkish, not English…”

page 257 in book (The Science of Language by Max Müller in 1861) It is a real pleasure to read a Turkish grammar, even though one may have no wish to acquire it practically. The ingenious manner in which the numerous grammatical forms are brought out, the regularity which pervades the system of declension and conjugation, the transparency and intelligibility of the whole structure, must strike all who have a sense of that wonderful power of the human mind which has displayed itself in language. Given so small a number of graphic and demonstrative roots as would hardly suffice to express the commonest wants of human beings, to produce an instrument that shall render the faintest shades of feeling and thought;-given a vague infinitive or a stern imperative, to derive from it such moods as an optative or subjunctive, and tenses as an aorist or paulo-post future;-given incoherent utterances, to arrange them into a system where all is uniform and regular, all combined and harmonious;-such is the work of the human mind which we see realized in “language.” But in most languages nothing of this early process remains visible. They stand before us like solid rocks, and the microscope of the philologist alone can reveal the remains of organic life with which they are built up. In the grammar of the Turkic languages, on the contrary, we have before us a language of perfectly transparent structure, and a grammar the inner workings of which we can study, as if watching the building of cells in a crystal bee-hive. An eminent orientalist remarked “we might imagine Turkish to be the result of the deliberations of some eminent society of learned men;” but no such society could have devised what the mind of man produced, left to itself in the steppes, and guided only by its innate laws, or by an instinctive power as wonderful as any within the realm of nature.

Mr. Steve - One a ur techniques seems to be to git urself a hot female tutor (seen u talking with a hot turkish tutor female, seen u wit nelly avec french, now this farsi lady).

Danke schon pour tes conseils. Du bist der starkste und der ehrlichsten sur youtube en ce qui concerne l'apprentissage des langues, dont je suis tres reconnaissant

Interesting! What motivated you to learn Persian? I've learnt Arabic at school in Iran and although I'm unable to speak, I know loads of words, their roots and derivatives and a great deal of grammar. Good luck with your language learning journey ❤

Good luck from Iran 💚

Glad to see your comment

I've only been learning Italian for over a year but learning three different languages at once just doesn't seem realistic. Then again I'm totally new to this and he's learned over 20 languages so maybe that isn't too High of an expectation.

and languages of entirely different people

Why basically?

Mantente constante bro, sobre todo en los abecedarios y como se forman. Mucha suerte!

Me too. It's just my second language, though.

Thats incredible! Good luck with Japanese, wishing you success 🌸

And me ? I can't barely speak english 😂

What are the other two? Just curious.

Are you a woman by any chance? Or a man? really different perspectives for the two out thete

Thank you for the reference! That's special.

@@seenonyt2210 This volume is available (free) on Google Books. A sort of linguistic time machine. Do have a look at it, it's a world from yesteryear.

The Ottoman language was formed entirely in line with the understanding of art. Persian and Arabic were considered superior languages, and Turkish poets competed to see who could use Persian more. Then the Ottoman language was born

Its israel

israel my a** whats that

It's Israel 🇮🇷🇮🇱

Its Palestine ,geet looost from Palestine you theefts

Go and read the Bible

Why learn farsi 👹👺?

@ArabianQuirkSA it has nothing to do with politics/religion. You can say: poetry, music, cinema, great history and culture, also the way it sounds and so on.

the grammar in spoken dialectical Arabic is simple. Much easier than most European languages. You must be learning Koranic Arabic.

Would you say that is the general rule with learning most languages?

Do they have other languages? I'm trying to learn Russian.

@@meirabalderas9193 no, they are a physical school in Jordan teaching the local dialect. I know Steve is learning levantine Arabic, the local dialect in Jordan.

alla who act bar

@@candidfellow 😂😂😂 bro, its not Arabic btw

@farhang-n but it's funny like ziad fazah trying to read farsi in arabic, as long as the script is alla who act bar

​@@candidfellow we are Iranian and don't like your Allah

Bonjour ! Cela veut dire quoi "vieux" ? 🤔

I'm sure Mr Kaufman visited Morocco years ago - check his playlists.

Turkish is a very nice language to learn because Turks are nice! I have been to TK about 10 times 🙂 so I think I know! I speak 8 languages and will never learn a language where their native speakers hate Westerners. But Turkish…. 🇹🇷🥰❤

@@alfonsohshk8998 you can speak basic level Turkish in a month by listening 1 lesson per day from my first list. each lesson is 30 minutues.

Native English speaker (Ireland) here. Your English writing is perfect here. 😊

@@wolfthequarrelsome504 Thank you! I really appreciate that.

Any recommendations on learning Hebrew? I heard it's very hard

türkçen harika

@@throwaway2161 Sağ olun, bey effendi.

I always start by learning the alphabet. I learned the Arabic alphabet, I learned the Hebrew alphabet, and I also quickly learned the Cyrillic alphabet. I don't know much modern Hebrew, but I do not quite a few religious Hebrew words. Knowing the alphabet and vowel sounds was key.

Have you tried Duolingo for Hebrew?

Wow! such a nice idea. I have to try this method. I am also learning Korean I am struggling with the dictation of words

I'm also on korean right now as of this week, I'm currently watching a guy on RU-vid who makes comprehensive input in the form of him playing games while he narrates his actions and the game. He has playlists from complete beginner to advanced, what have you found helpful in terms of beginner content (if you dont mind me asking)

@@shanarkhanlou right now I am not worrying about spelling :D but in the future it might good as a dictation practice! I hope it works for you!

Türkiye is not middle east country. Do you know what is middle east in fact? Who is fabricated this fake term? İs this middle east ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-USv3yDTq9JI.html Or this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eo-VC5ZwBBQ.html

لغته العربية سيئة جدا

Love your recommendation! Any online koran with transliteration and pronunciation available?

There is a browser extension called wudooh which allows you to enlarge the arabic fonts. Very helpful!

Not enough time to prepare for my trip, and there are just so many more Arabic speakers. I may get bak to it.
