Fena Fil - The Bad Elephant

Once you begin to learn a new language you may come to chapter 1 and experience that it´s most important to tell your name and your origin in that foreign language, like f.e. "Hallo, ich bin Kai" oder "Buon giorno, sono Kai". Next to that you will find the needed vocabular in your textbook.

If you plan to learn turkish you may come to a different approach. You will find the expression "fena fil" in the vocabular for your first session. Fena fil means "bad elephant". So you may imagine why it is so important to learn such an expression so early. If you have any clue or any idea, please tell it to us. (maybe it´s the turkisch version of: "Why the chicken crossed the road". Who knows?)
