It is extremely effective when learning the Turkish language to memorize 10-20 words and phrases daily. It is desirable that the words relate to the same topic, although this is not necessary. It is better to learn words in Turkish immediately in stable expressions. There will come a time when suitable expressions will start to pop up in memory just when needed. "You don’t learn new words = you don’t learn a language", I suggest taking this as a given and not experiencing negative emotions about this.

Constant communication with native speakers destroys the language barrier. Only the experience of live communication allows you to break the language barrier.
