Hello everyone !

Hello everyone. My name's Kadir. ( And there's a character who named Kadir in the Star Wars universe. I'm happy with that  )
I'm from Turkey and I don't know English well. I'm just watching the comedy shows and learning English from TV :P
So forgive about my weak English
I'm a Star Wars Fan ( oh yeah ? :P ) like all of you
And now i'm in this crowd.
May the force be with you all...

Hi, Kadir! It's nice to meet you! Welcome to the JC! Don't worry about your English; it looks and sounds fine to me! There are a lot of people around here who speak English as a second or third language, so you'll fit right in.
If you need help finding something specific, just let us know. I see you've already found your FanForce, which is a good start! We're always here to help, so feel free to ask if you need anything.

Welcome JennaJace!
Your English looks good to me as well, but then... I'm one of those second language person Trika speaks about above, so it might happen that I overread mistakes easier.
As said above there are lots of people whose first language isn't English and we have no problems to understand each other. And as long as you give your best to write in an understandable way (like you did above) no one will get mad on you for sure.
These boards even manage to improve the English skills of lots of users like me, who wasn't that good when I joined the forum.
We even had an Turkish adopter at the adoptions program, but he's not available at the moment. Would have been a great chance, but if you like to find a master, we'll find a good one for you. 
Oh, and as a last thing, don't hesitate to ask anyone of us, if you have any questions, no matter, if it's language based or a board-technical questions or just a hint where to find what ever you're looking for, ok?
Enjoy your stay!

You're not alone there, Jenna.
I always have dict.leo.org open when I'm here.
I'd point you to the Turkish FanForce now, but you already found it.

There's one website which is used by most of us Germans: Leo. Sadly it hasn't any English-Turkish part. 
From some experience of my FF I would like to give you one advice, since I don't know that website, you want to use: Don't try to translate whole sentences, that would end in a funny but not understandable text. If you want to have a good laugh, you can try to translate some Turkish into English and back to Turkish again through a text-translator.
But I think, you don't need a translator for whole sentences. Your English is good enough. So there's no need to worry.

skiara :
i'm good at english when it comes to watching films , or playing games.
for example : i played KotOR without using a dictionary.It was a big experience.I mean , i can understand your sentences. But i can't create sentences.So i just need practise
With time and experience , I will able to post messages without using dictionary or without thinking every word i typed , i think

In my view you have a good start and I'm sure you'll write in English without thinking in Turkish anymore. But be warned, then the times comes that you'll get a problem to speak Turkish, because you can just think of the English word.
I had some funny discussions already when just the English word could be remembered and we knew that the other one would understand it in English as well. Think of two Germans, who prefer to talk (partly) in English. (Ok, a bit exaggerated, but still... )

That's completely normal, Jenna. The passive vocabulary of everybody is bigger than their active vocab. meaning, we understand more than we can actually think of ourselves.
Only practice will increase the activ vocabulary and you're 100% in the right place if you need words like turbo laser batteries, cloaking device, or greed-induced political suicide.
