Unlike in the past, when the Turkish language was often considered “the language of the enemy” and its study was limited mainly to national security needs, today, knowledge of Turkish is more valuable than ever.
Learning the Turkish language holds particular importance for Greeks today, as Turkey is a neighboring country and a key commercial, cultural, and diplomatic partner. Knowledge of Turkish strengthens bilateral relations and facilitates communication in areas such as trade, tourism, and international cooperation. for many reasons.
Turkish belongs to the family of agglutinative languages, meaning that suffixes are added to the end of words to create meaning. The language consists of 29 letters, each of which is pronounced in a single, consistent way, making pronunciation relatively straightforward.
A defining feature of Turkish is the system of vowel harmony, which helps determine the appropriate suffixes for each word. Because of its structural difference from traditional European languages, learning Turkish can be a challenging but highly engaging experience for new learners.
