I'm not sure what you mean by 'learn it all'? To reach anywhere near native fluency will take you years, and it's possible you never get there. And even most Turks themselves don't know it 'all', if by that you mean the entire vocabulary, and the most complex grammatical structures etc. But that needn't (shouldn't) even be your aim! You can start by learning the basics, as you have done, and that will give you an opening into the language. If you keep studying you will find that you understand more and more, and eventually can start becoming conversational, in a limited way at first, of course, but as soon as you start actively using the language (as opposed to just understanding it) you will find that your progress gets quicker and quicker.
How about contacting the Turkish Embassy or Consulate where you live? They may be able to put you in touch with Turkish language courses or teachers in your area, they might even offer some free courses.
I know exactly how you feel I got interested with Turkey too...so much that I've been thinking of the possibility of going to college there! I dream of traveling all around the world and meeting new and amazing people and so Turkey really intrigued me. I've been interested in learning all kinds of languages even Arabic by the way I just haven't gotten to that yet. I started learning Turkish a couple of months ago and I can say it does get difficult sometimes. I would say that the best way of learning a new language is going by how you learned as child. You were surrounded by your family memebers and people who spoke your native language. That eventually helped you to communicate with them. I would say surround yourself with people that speak the language that you are trying to learn. It doesnt necessary have to be literally people around you but I would say make friend online with native speakers and that should help you. It definitely helped me! ????
I'm Azeri Turkish. Azeri Turks are from Azerbaijan region which is two parts. One is Azerbaijan republic and the other one is Iranian Azerbaijan. I think Turkish language is easy and you can learn it in 2 months if you study everyday and watch Turkish tv shows, movies, and listen to Turkish songs. Good luck.

I would suggest you to chat by using google translator, I did that before with Spanish language and after a bit of time sometimes I was answering my friends without using the translator :D But it is really cool that you get interested into a culture and you have many materials and learn their language, I got bored with spanish after I noticed I was watching too much stupid mexican soup operas ahahah
You can make some skype friends. I have no much time to do it but anyway you can add me.

You seem to speak to speak good English as well, I speak Turkish as a second language and I can tell you that after the basics etc its just ways of shortening down sentences, what I do when someone speaks Turkish to me is just listen to the verbs being said and not really bother about the tense which they said it in, it works. The only problem in Turkey is that they speak too fast, even when some one speaks mynative language too fast I can't understand it.
Good efforts which you tried to learn Turkish language.you can do one thing more for earlier and better learning,live with turkish's person, make company with turkish people, they can help for better learning.
