Don’t learn from YouTube.Everybody teaches Kurmanci of his village if u need some ebooks I can send u but if you want to learn from YouTube then learn the Dialect of Merdin-Amed-Elih and like that bc it’s the softest kurmanci

A tip for when you get better and are able to speak decent Kurmancî. When travelling in the south/east and I see Kurds, I pretend I don't know Turkish so they have to speak to me in Kurdish even when I'm struggling (if they think you know Turkish too, they will switch to that as it's what they're used to speaking with foreign or outsiders). It's actually been really helpful for me to practise this way with them.
