Do Turks believe their language is universal
The main event in the text focuses on the problem of language in Turkey, where visitors, especially foreigners, face difficulties communicating with locals who only speak Turkish, with few actively learning English. The author expresses that the Turkish people believe their language is a global language, which leads to the paradox that many Turks are surprised to discover that many foreigners do not understand Turkish. This reflects shortcomings in educational and cultural policies in promoting foreign language learning, despite Turkey being a tourist country with strong infrastructure and huge tourism potential. The article questions the reasons behind this linguistic insularity and how it affects interactions with tourists and the opportunities for cultural and commercial communication.
