I say thank you as well, Yianni. Even though my English is still not perfect, I'm working on my Greek.  Turkish is next on the list.... |

| Good Luck, It would be difficult for you. I think Greek and English have same root. But Turkish is realy different. |

Nope, both different, both difficult... only advantage with Turkish is that it's written in a very similar alphabet so it's easier to read. Greek's ok once you've absorbed the alphabet. |

oh dear, greek writing is pure horror. I mean I know the alphabet (having learned Russian in school, which is a bit similar in writing) but I never know which I or S shall I use....
I haven't started with Turkish yet, but you are right with the letters. Apart from that it has a really weird gramma, putting tenses and persons always at the end of the main word.... |

If you know japan, or other Altaic langauge, you would learn Turkish more easily.
But At least there is 200-300 Million people who talk this langauge, with some difference. |

| French and Turkish is actually very similar, during the 5 years I lived in French-speaking part of Switzerland I have found 200-300 words that are the same!!! |
