Language in Turkey

LANGUAGE IN TURKEY

Conversational English, German, and often French are spoken in hotels, restaurants, and shops in cities and resorts. In villages and remote areas you may have a hard time finding anyone who speaks anything but Turkish or Kurdish, though necessary communications are still usually possible. English is taught in public schools, starting from the primary level, but education is often inadequate, so try to learn a few basic Turkish words; your efforts will be appreciated.
