Who here is from Turkey and can help me find some english-learning guides for a friend of mine pls?

Duolingo provides a certificate after an online test. I don't know how much employers would trust it, though.

I know but to learn the language a lot, Busuu actually might be good enough,for starting out? it sure is something better than nothing right :P then just trying from movies,tv series and songs,those take years lol ;D

like pirates?arrr matey ! :D

Thanks for the detailed response. I can read Hiragana/Katakana as well, indeed it is pronounced as it's written, that alone makes it much easier for me just like Turkish. I've been watching Japanese movies, anime and tv series with English subs for years. I think I know a lot of basic words and probably my listening isn't terrible. However, I've never tried to form a complete sentence in Japanese, so I can't talk about the grammar and how it's very similar to Turkish. It is probably the language I enjoy listening and hearing most. Not to mention there are 10+ year old stuff old anime, movies, tv shows I've still been waiting for subs. The problem is the reading/writing part I guess, just thinking about learning to read and write 3000+ Kanji makes me uneasy. If they used the latin alphabet, maybe it could be one of the easiest languages to learn for a native Turkish speaker. I'm saying this based on the same language family info, it's not something I can confirm lol Well, the fact that it has no other practical use (no jobs requiring Japanese, no easy way to live in Japan, no Japanese friends or people around me...) and being harder than any European language because of the kanji, makes trying to learn it a questionable decision considering how much time and effort it will take. I'm not sure where this ramble is going, so I'll just say I hope I can learn it in the future even tho I have no idea where I'll use it except watching unsubbed Anime, I guess at my level something like duolingo will be useful too.
