Learn Turkish Badly (Lesson 2)
Most Turkish people have some understanding of English (or other languages such as American, Australian and even obscure languages such as Canadian), so speaking Turkish very badly is widely accepted. Even the Turks do it! To help, here is a phrase to learn: "Bir beer teshy-curly-wurly." It sort of means, "A beer thanks." Remember to speak this with a Turkish accent to make yourself better understood. Failing that, a Greek accent will do, but will not make you as popular with the Turks.
