ALBAWABA - Can Yaman surprised fans by revealing how he learned Spanish so fast.
Can Yaman is one of the busiest foreign actors working right now. The Turkish actor has worked in shows in Italy, Turkey, and now Spain, among other places. On the Spanish show "La Revuelta," Yaman showed off his Spanish skills. He has been learning Spanish for less than a year and has a lot of control over it.
Turkish, Italian, English, and now Spanish are some of the languages that Can Yaman knows. He spoke in Spanish, "It was my dream to make a project here, and I've been studying for a year." He added that he has been working with a Spanish teacher for "five or six months."

He said that he's been watching movies and TV to help him learn. "I've seen everything." To me, Luis Zahera is the best because I love his Gallego accent. He told the crowd, "I also like Jose Coronado." These are some of his favorite Spanish performers.
Another thing Yaman talked about was how he learned Spanish faster: he made a private social media account and only followed Spanish-language sites. "I followed La Revuelta to learn with subtitles, but it brought me down because I didn't understand," he said with a smile. "My teacher asked me, 'What does this person mean?'" "I don't get it."" Then he told them some of his favorite Spanish phrases, which made them laugh.
Can Yaman's rise as an actor came as a total surprise. After going to the Italian Lyceum in Istanbul for school, he chose to get a law degree. He graduated after getting a basketball scholarship. Yaman met his agents by chance while on vacation in Turkey. This experience changed his life and put him on a new job path.
He said, "I met my agents in a hotel." The ideas that came up at that meeting led to popular TV shows like "Dolunay" and "Erkenci Kuş." After several popular productions in Turkey, Yaman started working with directors and filmmakers from other countries. These partnerships led to shows like "El Turco," which was a Turkish-Italian production with Yaman as a soldier in the Janissary army based in Northern Italy.
Yaman's most recent work is the world TV show "Sandokan," which is based on the popular books by Emilio Salgari. Yaman plays the title character, a pirate who sails and fights his way through Southeast Asia with a group of different characters. Alanah Bloor, Ed Westwick, and more are also in the show.
