So how do you communicate with Turkey?

So I'm inn this class where me and 3 Turkish kids need to learn French. I speak English, they speak turk. I became their friends somehow and now they want to hang out and go dancing and shit, great. Problem is, I can't speak Turkish, they can't speak English. Does anyone have any advice on how to interact with people who don't speak your language?

And is there anything out there I might be able to download to my laptop to bring with me and translate? Like a free online translation program....that I can bring offline?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you guys can't communicate in the first place, how do you know that they want to be your friends, and want to hang out and go dancing? O_o

Use sign language, or gestures. Hanging around people that do not speak your language is a frustrating event.

I would use a search engine to find some soft of translator.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well they asked me....he pointed at himself and the other Turkish kids, then me, then said "discotheque?"...i went....qui and smiled, then he smiled.

I'm looking for a program though, not a search engine

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I believe the only way to communicate with them is through gobbles.

Seriously though - you're both in a French class. Do we have to connect the dots for you?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Everyone laughs the same. Seriously jsut spend all evening laughing, they'll think you're tops. You'll pickup Turkish over time.

How ya doing, buddy?

I remember one of my professors telling his class about a time he was in Turkey.

Just a heads up. The OK sign you make with your fingers doesn't mean the same thing in Turkey. It roughly translates to "I want to go to a gay leather bar."

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's weird situation, but if I were you, I will bring my laptop everywhere and talk to them with any available online translator 8D

FELIPE NO

When we were over in Italy, my latin teacher was chatting up some Italian teens on a ferry to Capri. She was speaking latin, very slowly. They were speaking Italian, very slowly. Somehow everyone was friendly, and understood each other, slightly.

Common languages, even if you suck at them. Like Lehah said, it's obvious.

Also, google ads recommends Learn Turkish Online-spoken Turkish language instruction proven effective. Learn to speak Turkish today!. "Learn turkish like a secret agent!"

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
