Product Description

Product Description
This course is aimed at beginners in written and spoken Turkish, as well as those who want to develop an existing knowledge of the language. Sixteen carefully graded, interlocking units each introduce new language structures firmly embedded in a functional context, demonstrating how the language is put to use in everyday situations. Each unit begins with an opening dialogue accompanied by simple comprehension questions and notes about the language or Turkish culture. A small number of language points are fully explainedand illustrated by examples, and exercises are included to test your learning. At the end of each chapter a shorter dialogue is linked to the opening one.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best Turkish course on the market, 14 Mar 2006
By Gerard Lynch "paddingtonw2bear" (Belfast, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Turkish (Teach Yourself Languages) Accompanies Book (Audio CD)
I've been learning Turkish for six years now, and am reasonably fluent. In that time I've encountered many language courses and Teach Yourself Turkish is the best I've come across. It's also one of the best in the Teach Yourself series.

It provides a good grounding in the basic structure of the language and key vocab in the first 8 chapters. It explains things clearly without getting lost in complex grammatical terms. With a bit of determination you could probably get through this section in 6-8 weeks by yourself in a little spare time. Combine this with a few stock tourist phrases from a guidebook and Turkey is your oyster.

Where it does lose it's way a little bit is in the second half of the course, where it tries to cover a little too much material for the space it has. Because of this the explanation can get muddier, and the subject matter is presented a little bit too densely for easy self study.

While my Turkish is now well beyond the level of this course, it was an important part in helping me get to this level.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to learn a fascinating language, 5 Mar 2006
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant introduction to Turkish, 25 Jul 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Turkish A Complete Course For Beginners.(Book/Cassette Pack) (Audio Cassette)
Being a lover of all things Turkish i felt it was time to stop expecting the Turk's to talk to me 24/7 in English so i bought Teach Yourself Turkish, the cassete and book pack.
The book alone can teach you enough to get by but with the tape accompanying it, it makes the whole process easier and even more fun!
The authors give good pointers on how to go about this 'Teach Yourself' course and beleieve me its working!
So if i can do then so can you!
Definatly recommend using this as your first and possibly only means of beginner Turkish.
