Learn some
Turkish when you travel to Turkey
and your trip will be much better. Luckily,
simple Turkish is fairly easy to
learn because Turkish is a logical,
phonetic language.
All students in Turkish schools
study English, and some even
learn it. French, German and Arabic are
also taught (and sometimes learned).
In tourist areas, local tourism personnel
may study Greek, Finnish, Hebrew, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Spanish—whatever
language a significant number of visitors
may speak. But you'll get the most
out of your trip if you know a bit
of Turkish, too.
