Osman from lingulangu.org found me on a Turkish language-learning web site, and asked if I would take his survey to help him with his research regarding computer-assisted Turkish learning. The survey took me less than five minutes to complete, and was completely anonymous. I know that many of my readers are also students of the Turkish language, so if you’re learning Turkish and have an extra few minutes, pop on over and help Osman out. Link
Çok teşekkür ederim! Very kind of you!

Hey Mel!
How’s is going?
I’m in Reykjavík now, causing all kinds of trouble. I’ve been told I should come with a warning!
Learning a new language is a serious challenge for anyone over the age of 15 so I admire anyone who gives it a go. It’s frustrating sometimes being misunderstood, but hey I’m misunderstood in my own language everyday.
It can also be very amusing though, you can make all kinds of rude mistakes and get away with it.
You can ask for ‘chicken tits’ and ‘bread from hell’ for example – common mistakes with learners of Icelandic -; Icelanders in England might make the mistake of asking where they should HIT you instead of where they should MEET you.
If six of them should go to a restaurant they might ask how good the COCK is instead of the COOK and then demand a table for SEX!

That’s hilarious! I’m glad to hear from you, Lisa, and I’m glad to hear you’re tearing up the capital city. I wish I could come visit!
