Played a few about a decade ago - they just send me to sleep. I am re-starting my foray into learning Hebrew (modern and ancient) but my poor old cogs don't turn as quickly or as smoothly as they did 40 years ago. Still, I will persist. Ah, well. Es la vida, mas y más llegamos a menos y menos. Right you are about idiotic computer games, etc, Brian.

I used language tapes and accompanying texts - and learning languages is so much easier as a child. It's a matter of turning off the nitwit "television" and idiotic "computer games" and so forth. As well as the "cell phone" and "text message" use by children - children don't need cell phones anyway. (Good luck with that one) Children can learn numerous languages foreign to them with the use of the computer – with DVDs designed to learn languages and the Internet.

Turkish, as Turkey is situated, would naturally be written in their own (modified) Latin alphabet, Turkish would be written in the Arabic (more precicely, the Persian) alphabet because many Kurdish at the Iraqi border of Turkey speak and write Turkish, Turkish is also written by many Armenians who use the Armenian alphabet, and many Armenians write Turkish in the Cyrillic alphabet. So do many Turkmens, for that matter. Turkey remains a unique gateway between East and West. [Moreover Turkish would be difficult to reproduce phonetically in the Bengal] Wouldn’t be common or natural, though.
