 Being surrunded by many different cultures and languages gave me the inspiration to develop the idea of this project. Istanbul to me was also unknown, so I took the challenge again, to try to understand their culture, dealing with a new language, people, and so on.
-This time I thought of sharing my experience. I wanted the people who known place and culture to feel and interact with the unknown. This is how the idea of developing a "language" game came up.

 '''Step 2''' Getting feedback
-After a week of the "QR codes ehh-Spam" I started to get involved with the people who were scanning and playing on the street. I asked for they opinions and weather they would like to be part of the game.

-They were all very open with me even if they did not know me. Almost all of them loved the game and wanted to keep on playing. The interesting thing came when I asked them to be part of the game, with their own language. To my surprise many of them, even if they were born in Turkey, told me to do it in another language such as Armenian, Greek, even Kurdish. And this is how the second part of the game came up.

 '''Step 3''' Languages behind Languages
+Something I found very interesting during my stay in Istanbul, is how diverse and full of stories a city can be. While I was getting the feedback of the game, some interesting stories came up. Inmigration, territorial, political and social stories from which I got very excited and inspired to develop the second part of the game.
+Languages behind Languages is based on the many diversities in one city. Even if turkish is the main language in Turkey, there are many other either languages or dialects hidden in the whole country. So this time, the people in the game are speaking in their own languages, the one from which their families emmigrated from.
