Product Description
Product Description
Teach Yourself Turkish is a complete course for beginners in written and spoken Turkish. It is also ideal for those wanting to brush up existing knowledge of the language and those who are studying with a teacher and are looking for supplementary material. There are 16 carefully graded and interlocking units. Each unit introduces new language structures firmly embedded in a functional context, which means you concentrate on the uses to which you can put the language in everyday situations. Each unit starts with an opening dialogue accompanied by simple comprehension questions and notes about the language or Turkish culture. Then a small number of language points are fully explained and illustrated by examples. The exercises which follow will check your learning. Finally, at the end of each unit there is a shorter dialogue linked to the opening one. There is comprehensive help with the pronunciation both in the introduction and on the accompanying 60-minute CD, which is available separately (ISBN 0340 871067) or together with the book in a pack (ISBN 0340 871059).At the end of the book there is a Turkish-English vocabulary and a new English-Turkish vocabulary, and an index to the grammar points covered.

The best way to learn a fascinating language,
By realworlder (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teach Yourself Turkish Book and CD Pack (Teach Yourself Languages) (Paperback)
I've tried several books to help me learn Turkish and this is the best. The authors strike just the right balance between grammatical explanations that help you understand what's really going on, and genuinely useful dialogues and vocabulary. They make the whole process great fun. I've been plugging away at this book for a few months now, am off to Turkey soon and, along with the Rough Guide dictionary/phrasebook which I will take with me, feel well prepared. Minor gripes: the glossary at the end includes far from all of the words in the texts, proofreading is a bit erratic, and the exercise answers at the back are hard to match up because they're listed under chapter numbers while the exercises themselves only have the chapter names at the top of the page. But don't let that put you off - this book is great.

This review is from: Teach Yourself Turkish Book and CD Pack (Teach Yourself Languages) (Paperback)
Been using this book and CD for a coupld of weeks and i'm really happy with it. The lessons are good and i've done the suggestion of playing it in the car and on my mp3 player etc. the words and teh structures are slowly but surely being retained! The book has motivated me for the learning process, which is what you want from a guide.
So far so good, top purchase!
