ok i have to learn how to program a simple turning machine and just basically how to use a turning machine. same problem as before - i don't speak estonian very well. i have googled for this all morning without success. we are using the java applet here

http://math.hws.edu/TMCM/java/labs/xTur ... neLab.html

but i dunno if that will help out. i just need a website that really explains how a turning machine does its computing, unless someone here knows and wants to explain it :D

what languages do you speak well? English, Russian perhaps?

only english, definatly no russian. im an american who decided to pack up and go to school in estonia. sadly estonian is freakin impossible to speak, what with 9 vowels, 14 suffixes, 10 different ways to say "can not", the list goes on.
