Talk:Turkish/Pronunciation and Alphabet

Keep in mind that Turkish is mostly unaccented, except for a slight stress on the last syllable (in most cases). This can be a challenge for English speakers - we have a natural inclination to accent our words in the middle, the beginning, whatever. That's why when you're listening to a native Turkish speaker, it can sound like one long string of syllables. In Turkish, the words aren't broken up so strongly by accenting a part of them. Work hard on this "no stress" pronunciation. It's key to being intelligible to a person listening to your Turkish.
