The lessons are over now. We had lessons on 5,6 and 9 August and 13,8 and 12 people joined respectively.  We will continue with new lessons in the future. Date and time will be announced here.

Link to the virtual class will be posted here 15 minutes before it starts. Date and time will be announced much sooner though.

Greetings, Soon I will start online lessons in real time virtual environment. Of course it will be for free. You will be able to listen, to speak, to read and to type at the same time. We will use a voice conferencing system but you are not required to download anything. On the other hand you need a headset. If you have only speakers or headphones but don´t have a microphone you can still join but then you won´t be able to speak and I can´t ask you any questions. I will update this message and post lesson times here. (edit: see times above) Lessons will be 50 minutes. The first lesson´s topic is: Lesson 1: for complete beginners noun cases, vowel harmony, question suffix The first lesson could start tomorrow or the next day. I can accept up to 20 learners for a lesson. Who would be interested to join a virtual classroom? This is the first time we will do something like this on this website. Other teachers or moderators will be always welcome to join my virtual lessons as visitors.

May I ask what programme are you going to use?
Just curious from IT point of view..

We will be using the open source free service of dimdim.com. The attendee doesn´t need to download anything. It will be browser based for the attendee. The presenter downloads a small program. I have searched virtual classroom softwares and found out that dimdim is the best choice for our needs. A paid alternative is webex.com

I am interested but wanna ask are your lessons a part of Learning Turkish groups? because I already asked to be in one of those groups

It is great but I am so beginner to join such class
I only can pronounce Turkish well, so I will be in the Level 1 group to be able to join this high level class
thanks

Queent,

Don´t worry. This lesson is for complete beginners. It is not a high level course. Any complete beginner can join. Just check the first message in this topic to find out the lesson time.

I will arrange repeating sessions for the same lessons in case people from different time zones want to pick a more suitable time. I will also repeat the lessons over time once in a week or two so people who missed the lessons in the past will be able to join another one.

You can imagine this as a cinema movie. It will be shown in the morning and afternoon so you can pick any of them. It will also repeat after a week or two so newcomers can see it as well.

Right now the only thing that I´m interested is enough attendence. As soon as we have enough interest I will announce the lesson times.

So I will join

According alexa.com most of the users of this website are from USA. Second is Germany and third is UK. So I will try to arrange evening times for USA, Germany and UK. This way people who have a daytime job or school can join in the evening. There is only one hour difference between Germany and UK.

We could also add one repeating session for the weekend. So in total the same lesson would be presented at least 3 times during the same week and it would repeat continuously after a two week gap.

For instance for the UK, lessons could be 6 or 7pm on weekdays and 4 or 5 pm on weekends.

Hopefully other teachers here will follow this system and there will be more repeating sessions for the same lesson content.

The software I´m using allows uploading a power point slide show. I´m thinking to create slide shows for each lesson and give them to other teachers. This way they could teach the same thing themselves using that slide show.
