Justin, in the review part, in the fourth sentence of the first question if "de" means "also" I think it should be "da" instead, right?
I know it is a very trivial typo and I am sure you always do your best, but because I love this site veeeeeeeeery much I don't really want other people/ students to find any single mistake here even if it is a tiny one.
Allah Bless your efforts :) :)

I have a question that has nothing to do with this lesson but as I'm not using facebook anymore I'm going to post it here so pardon :$
with the verb "öğrenmek" if I want to say for example I'm learning Turkish by myself should I say : "kendi kendime Türkçe öğreniyorum" or "kendi kendime Türkçeyi öğreniyorum" or both are correct ?? I think you've already mentioned that before but I just can't remember in which lesson..
Thanks in advance :))

@Şeyma - çok ozür dilerim. I don't know how I missed your comment.
Both of your sentences are grammatically correct. However, "Türkçe öğreniyorum" is the correct usage for what you're looking for. "Türkçeyi öğreniyorum" (with the accusative) puts a certain focal stress on Türkçe that implies "I am learning Turkish, and not some other language." So, it's perfectly fine, but in a specific context.
Hope that helps!
