You don’t need a PhD in linguistics to explore interesting, unique features of different languages. In this podcast, “Language Matters” by Diplomatic Language Services, we make language accessible to everyday people by discussing features which may not exist in other languages. For instance, unless you have studied a Slavic language, you may not be familiar with “verbs of motion”, but we can teach you! Join us each episode as we host experts to discuss how these unique features impact learning a particular language. We will learn together, not only about verbs of motion, but tones, counter words, the oblique form – and all sorts of exciting topics!

In this episode of Language Matters, Molly sits down with native Turkish speaker, Zeynep Gur, and DLS Project Manager, Jessica, who lived in Turkey for five years while studying the language. They discuss various aspects of the Turkish language including the change of the Turkish alphabet in the 1920s, the importance of vowel length, why it’s much harder to interrupt people when speaking Turkish, the importance of the informal ‘you’, and why the Harry Potter books are much shorter when translated in Turkish! Sit back and enjoy this fascinating episode on the Turkish language!
