Synopsis
"Teach Yourself Beginner's Turkish" is the right course for you if you really want to learn Turkish but are daunted by the prospect of complicated grammar, classes and coursebooks. This book starts right from the beginning and explains everything in simple English. There are hints throughout to make learning easy and you can learn at your own pace with plenty of practice of each new point. It is a friendly introduction to the language which will help you to understand and speak Turkish sufficiently well to function effectively in basic everyday situations, both social and business. The course will also offer you an insight into Turkish culture. The book consists of 20 graded units introducing you to the basic structures and grammatical points you'll need in everyday situations, such as booking into a hotel, shopping, eating and travelling. New language is introduced through short dialogues and texts which are also on the accompanying recording and there are plenty of exercises to practise each new point as it is introduced.

There is a special section on pronunciation and the Turkish alphabet at the beginning of the book to get you started and revision exercises at the end of every five units so that you can check your progress and review any areas of difficulty. By the end of the course you'll be able to communicate in a wide range of real-life situations and have all the practical information you need to enjoy your next trip to Turkey. The accompanying double CD provides listening material. The CDs (0 340 84537 6) and book (0 340 84534 1) can also be purchased separately. Alternatively, the listening material is available on a double cassette which can be purchased on its own (0 340 84538 4) or in a pack with the book (0 340 84536 8).

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: An excellent start for this difficult language, 29 Sep 2007 By  F. Samara (UK) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Beginner's Turkish [Book Only] (Teach Yourself Languages S.) (Paperback) This is a well written and attractively packaged guide for those starting with absolutely no background in Turkish. Its a difficult language for those more familiar with European / Romance languages - an alien grammar with agglutinative word-building patterns. This book and CD set focuses on set piece conversations which are naturalistic and (as the book progresses) increasingly witty, and the emphasis is thematic and logical, making the lessons easy to grasp. The goal is to equip the reader for interaction in modern professional Turkish; slang is kept to a minimum. I heartily recommend it, but even this "diet guide" required a struggle (from me!) to learn and secure in memory the necessary vocabulary; for this reason, I am not sure if it is really possible to have a "play in the car" CD that can be useful in raising people to a functional Turksih standard - this is not a "Turkish in a day" summary of a few keywords but actually a grounding in Turkish grammar (maybe I am merely a little slow?). The material in this book covers roughly the first 5 or 6 chapters of the more comprehensive Teach Yourself Turkish book - the next stage for people who master this material. DO get this if you need a strong introduction to Turkish.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Hurden (Suffolk, UK) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Teach Yourself Beginner's Turkish (Teach Yourself Languages) Accompanies Book (Audio CD) I thought I could use this CD set to learn basic Turkish on my commute to work (by car). It's not designed for that type of study - you launch into conversational Turkish immediately after the alphabet. I gave up after only one listening as it did not meet my needs. This is not a reflection on the course itself - so make sure you know what type of course you want before you buy!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (
