Linda,

A hair salon in Turkey is called a Kuofur - put pronounced coiffure. Much Turkish has a French heritage. In fact the word "turquoise" in French is meant to denote a certain shade of blue found often in - Turkey!

I used the Turkish Rosetta Stone to prepare for my daughter's wedding (meeting the groom's parents and doing a toast in two languages) and our subsequent trip to Istanbul for a second reception.

With a lot of hand gestures I get by with the in laws - they have less English than I have Turkish. But if I really want to get better, I need to get back to the Rosetta Stone and finish it. (Somehow when your daughter is getting married you seem to lose all your free time - but I can't keep using that excuse for years).

Kendine iyi bak!
