As others have said, Turkey is one of my favorite places. Very friendly people, great food, beautiful locales. the most liberal Muslim country in the middle east.
Contrary to what one poster said, very FEW Turks speak much English at all. German is the second language. I loved travelling around the country, but it was one of the few places I've been to where I genuinely had a hard time finding an English speaker when I needed some directions or help. |
Well, keep in mind that I have never been to Turkey. I only have some Turkish friends. Actually, I asked one such friend at the kebab shop about this. He said about 10% of Turks speak English fluently, 50% are speaking it at some intermediate level, 30% are speaking it at a beginner level, and the older generation cannot speak it at all. Well, he something like that. So, it sounds like Fox is more or less correct. I guess that there is some sort of self selection bias factor given that all of my Turkish friends are working outside of Turkey. |
