Hello Arda, I am from Turkey as well and it’s a surprising fact that I also joined this community with a burning ambition during my 2nd year of high school. If you don’t plan on continuing your college education in Japan, I believe you don’t have to limit yourself with 2y 6m.Because in my situation, I was able to find very useful dictionaries, text books and classes in college that I did not come across before. Keep the passion alive and have fun with your japanese journey :)

Thank you, it’s motivating to see those kinds of messages. About the education, I am uncertain about what to do about college. Going to Japan for it sounds interesting, but as far as I know they require a JLPT N1 Level Japanese and it is way too challenging for me. I mean, if I prepare years and actually master the language enough to pass it, I won’t be prepared for YGS-LYS exams and my future would be at risk if something goes wrong, because N1 doesn’t guarantee one a safe place. You see, I am not eager about going to a college in Japan because of these reasons so learning Japanese is just a hobby at this state.

When I’ve talked about languages with a Turkish friend of mine, I’ve found out that Turkish grammar is much closer to Japanese grammar than English grammar is. E.g. there’s nothing called “definite nouns” in Japanese.

Ah, you are certainly right about that. Both are ural-altaic languages so the similarities about the grammar and pronunciations saves me from a lot of trouble.
