Here is some general information about Turkish.

The alphabet is based on Latin

script which makes it easy to learn for people like the English and Germans. The
writing system is phonetic. We have a saying in Turkish for this: "Turkish is
written as it is spoken." (Türkçe konuşulduğu gibi yazılır.) So it’s not like
English where there are many letters in a word and you only pronounce some of them,
like in “queue”.

Turkish is an agglutinative language. Which means we make new words by adding

suffixes (and only suffixes) to existing words. This also means that we have famous
long words like in German :) For example, "kıyaslayamayabilirsiniz" (you may not be
able to compare)
There are no grammatical articles in Turkish. For this reason the, der, die, das,
etc. is very hard for a Turk to learn. There is also no grammatical gender. For
example, in Turkish we use only “o” for he, she, and it.

In Turkish, sentence structure is highly flexible. The emphasis changes depending

on what word you put where in the sentence: Ben elmayı sana verdim (I gave YOU the
apple), Elmayı sana ben verdim (I gave you the apple), Ben sana elmayı verdim (I
gave you THE APPLE) etc.
And lastly a "fun" fact: In Turkish you don't eat soup, you drink it
