Turkish is like a cake.
You need to get it piece by piece - not the whole cake.
Learn grammar in order.Just need in order.
It is a process.
So you need to be more practice.
See, hear, understand, write, read, listen, speak and repeat.
You need a good dictionary.

Hi Yilgun

I've got an excellent dictionary (it's enormous). I know the alphabet and I can read pronounce Turkish words. I've learned some vocabulary and numbers. I read up on vowel harmony and I've been looking at how verbs are conjugated, but still have a way to go. Can you give me an idea of the order of grammar you think is best please?

Thanks a bunch (a bunch of flowers)

Thank you.
I will send you my grammar note.

Don't forget the suffixes

Yes: learning a suffix a day will suffice!

So, it's best to learn eg all the ways 'I' can be used then 'you' etc.?

I would learn one tense at a time.
e.g. how to conjugate verbs in the present simple then present continuous then move on to the past the future etc.
Get a good grammar book as well as a dictionary and look at the lessons on this site.

Please can someone suggest the following:-

1. Agood portable [small] Turkish/English; English/Turkish Dictionary.

2. A big 'comprehensive' REFERENCE Turkish/English; English/Turkish Dictionary.

At present I am using a small MILET 'Inglizce Cep Sözlğu'. It is OK and small. I can recommed it. It can be purchased from Milet [www.milet.com].

I've got both a langenscheidt and a redhouse dictionary, but I personally prefer the langenscheidt one. Our English teacher always advised us to think of a few words, then go to a bookshop and look these words up. You then can decide for yourself which one you think will suit your personal preferences .
