Thank you for sharing Sertab. Books are still one of the most effective ways for learning Turkish, especially if they are well-prepared. They come second after this site

this site is also very interesting:
www.turkishbooks.com
u can find many turkish books & other stuff there.

Selam Sertab!

Just wanted to let you know that I found "teach yourself, beginner's turkish" in my mailbox this morning!
I ordered it through Amazon.com, and it went really smooth, it took less than 10 days!
I can't wait to start!

Thanks again for the tip!

sahane (:

hope it will help u as much as it helped me.. but remember that book is just for beginners.. the 2nd one i told u is the best one (:

btw did u already get the cd's or only the book?

I got both, the "audiopackage", book + cd's. It's no use without the cd's I guess, because the book refers to them in the exercices. It's also very usefull to practice pronounciation. You can put the cd on while doing the dishes for example, and repeat the dialogues

I finished the second lesson of Teach Yourself Beginner's Turkish, and it goes quite well! But I must say that the reason why it goes so well, is because I discovered this website first, and studied some grammar, before I started the book. It has made it so much easier! I knew about vowel harmony, pronouns, etc... before I started the first lesson, and that really makes things much easier.

So, once again, thanks so much for this website!

http://www.tulumba.com/icy_itemdesc.asp?ic=zBK322220AE713
although the 1st book wont help me at all.. anyways does anybody here know about this course? is it good? hope so cos it's pahalı n wouldnt like to waste my money in vane..

Thanks for asking, it went great. Until I got the flu
Fortunately I'm not suffering very hard, but I have this splitting headache that won't go away. So studying or even just reading is painful.
Today was better though (touch wood

I'll check out the site and book you mentioned later.

Selam Sertab

I checked out the course you ordered, but I had to wonder: why do you order a beginner's course? Your knowledge of the language is good already, isn't it? And it's quite pahali indeed... Why don't you go on to a higher level?

Elisa

I hadnt seen ur old msg til now sorry! hope ur flu is over now
But y do u say the course I ordered is for beginners? no it's not! well yes, it is.. lol but only the 1st book.. it says *complete turkish course*.. so it must b a complete course, from beginners to an advance level.. actually I couldnt find anything better, n surely I wont buy any books for learning turkish in at least.. hmmm 2 or 3 years

go on with ur turkish canım (btw my turkish is not that good, believe me )
