We never had a problem. I did get a course in Turkish from a couple of
friendly bar
staff and I managed to master numbers and "how much" type conversations,
plus
greetings etc. Also "get lost" and worse, as you do tend to get hassled
in markets
etc - but they tend to leave you if you reply in their language.

Trouble is, they think all English people use phrases like "Asda price",
"lubbly jubbly" etc., so use them to address us. Annoying for Brits, and
totally incomprehensible to anyone not familiar with UK supermarkets or
sitcoms!
