Turkish is an interesting language. Depending on your mother tongue, learning this language could be a very different experience for you. If you are planning to visit turkey, or live in Turkey, knowing the language could definitely give you an edge. In my experience, locals in Turkey love the fact that you communicate with them in Turkish and are impressed by your efforts. They show their appreciation for your efforts by giving you extra discount or giving you extra large portion of food free of additional charge!

But i cant finish this post without mentioning the internet meme bird application, Duolingo
I learned Turkish with Duolingo myself and the basic lessons in it was more than enough to help me survive in Turkey. I was able to do my shopping and basic communications thanks to Duolingo. Although, one of the feature of the app that I don't like is the leaderboard section. I believe it fosters unnecessary competition between learnings fighting to see who can earn the most XP. This, in my opinion, takes the focus away from learning and puts it on useless points.
Duolingo also has tips before every lesson so you don't go in them blind.
