I'm breathing water...
Sü soluniyorum....
Im sitting at my work 03.00 pulling out my hair because of a language....
I've always been facinated by words and different languages, and also been investigating
some more then others, like English Germain & French in primary school, and then
Norwegian and Swedish but they're so close to my first language and later Finish, Portuguese
and Spanish even Yiddish and Hebrew I've been stumbling over.
Now its this one, and I've never been so consist and determined to learn a language the right
way before and with "right way" I mean to go into the deep of the grammar, I was never good
at that in school, I'm a phonic person and learn most easyest from listening, but now I'm
sitting here in the middle of the night memorizing arghhh grammar and to understand it, but
first I have to go all the way back from English to my own language and start all over,
because for me to understand the english grammar I need to go and memorize my own first....
and then go from there to english and further on to destination language....
wich is....Turkish.........
TURKISH.....
They're speaking freaking backwards, and they make circumlocutions in my head.....
That should'nt cause so many problems, since I'm always sitting and scribbling circumlocutions,
and tend to read magazines and news from back to front, also I've practised writing the wrong
way around from right to left with the letters in reverse,
And I have since child school droven many teachers into confusing because of my Chinise way
of writing from up to down, vertical or perpendicular... So it should be a piece of cake and it's very
interesting and very difficult, I think it has become like a magic language to me... Every time I
dive in to find a conection and I get a clue, I yell "Yesss...Eurekaaa I understand" It suddenly
tricks me again and I nearly feel like drowning and are close to give up, but instead I just follow
thrugh and go even deeper again....
Learning this language feels swimmingly.....and to me... Turkish always been sounding like
they're making bubbles under wather when they're speaking.... They're breathing wather...
