Especially, communicating with somebody via foreign language can be extremely long and tiring for adults. For this reason, in this study it was aimed to determine the errors made by individuals who learn Turkish as a first or second language. This study was conducted on 20 learners of Turkish as a second foreign language and 20 learners of Turkish as a second language.
