Bu yaz İngiltere´ye gideceğim.

* You know you do not need ´Ben´ because of ´gideceğim´.

* The time reference ´bu yaz´ normally precedes the sentence ´object´ (England)

* Normally for "proper names" (Countries, cities, people´s names) Turks use an apostrophe before any suffix is added. İngiltere´ye

* gitmek = to go, gideceğim = I will go

A good site to check your verb conjugation is www.verbix.com/ 

Many thanks Henry

Otobüs ile gidiyorum OR

Otobüsle gidiyorum

* your verb was perfect, but you misspelt your noun (otobüs)

* as you know, ´ben´ is optional, but I am told it is not normally used in spoken Turkish, unless you want to emphasise the ´I´ for some reason.

You are walking and only ´I´ am going by bus.

My attempt, but wait for a Turk to correct or confirm

Neyle oraya gidebilirim?

(If you are asking about which transport you need to catch, by bus/taxi/boat/walking)

How (with what / by what means/transport) can I get to there?

Ne (what) + ile (with) = neyle (with what/ how)

O (that) + ra (place) + y (buffer) + a (to) = oraya (to that place/ to there)

git (go) + ebil (ability to/can) + ir (simple tense) + im (I/first person) = gidebilirim 

Aferin! (well done!)

Bana göre, mükemmel (perfect, in my opinion)

My attempt

Geçen yıl Fransa´daydım

Fransa (France) + da (in/on/at) + idi (past tense for noun sentences) + m (I / first person suffix)

= Fransa´daydım = I was in France

See this lesson

 Or alternatively "Oraya nasıl gidebilirim ? "

Nifritity , I like your determination and willingness on learning Turkish. Aferin Sana, Carry on like this

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I haven´t been there before.

 önce ben orayada yoktım.

Daha önce orada bulunmadım.

Daha önce = before

Orada = there

bulunmak = in this case ,to be in somewhere especially for people .

note : dont mix this with "bulunmak = passive form of to be found"

                                   bul + un [passive] + mak = to be found

bulun + ma [negative] + dı [past] + m [person]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ankara´da hiç bulundun mu ? ---> Have you ever been to Ankara ?

in some cases "bulunmak" is used as "to live" ;

Mısır´da beş ay bulundum ---> I lived in Egypt for 5 months. [ I have been to Egypt for 5 months.]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

bulunmak is also used as to own, to have ;

[shopkeeper says to the customer]

Bizde zeytin bulunmaz --> We dont have olives.

Sizde ekmek bulunur mu  ? ---> Do you have bread ? [Do you sell bread ? ]

Sizde tost bulunur mu ? ---> Do you make toast ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is the beach near my holiday resort?

plaja benim tatilyeri yakında mı?

--------------------------------------

You done good ! but little bit correction needed.

Plaj benim tatil yerime yakın mı ?    OR ;

Plaj benim tatil yerimin yakınında mı ?

--------------------------------------------------------------

tatil yeri --> two seperate words --> holiday place

[benim] tatil yerim --> my holiday place

tatil yerim + e [dative case] ---> to my holiday place

yakın mı ? ---> is [it] near ?

I have already been at the travel agency.

Ben seyahat acenteside zaten vardım

---------------------------------------------------------

Seyahat acentesine gitmiştim.

Seyahat acentesine gittim zaten. 

Daha önce seyahat acentesine gitmiştim.[gittim]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I´d like to go near the south coast.

Güney kıyısında yakındanın gitmek seviyorum

----------------------------------------------------------

Güney sahiline yakın bir yere gitmek istiyorum.

[Literally ;  I´d like to go somewhere near the south coast]

-e yakın = near to

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ankara´ya yakın bir yere gitmek istiyorum. ---> I´d like to go [somewhere] near Ankara.

You are right, hocam, nasıl also used in place of neyle, but I think it will be useful for a learner if we explain the difference between these two question words.

If you are asking about the way to some place:

Oraya nasıl gidebilirim? ( lit. How can I go there? ) => can you tell me the way to there? What route should I take to get there?

"If you are asking about which transport you need to catch":

Oraya neyle gidebilirim? ( lit. By what can I go there? )

I´m not sure if your answer is correct or not.

Maybe it needs something more for "the" trip

Yolculuğu ne kadar?

Yolculuk (trip) + u (the) = yolculuğu (k mutates to ğ

Yolculuğun fiyatı ne kadar?

Yolculuğun fiyatı ne?

Seyahati ne kadar?

(I notice that seyahati does not follow normal vowel harmony rules) 

This previous post was also interesting to me.

Would any Turks like to comment if they agree with the differences about the Turkish words for ´trip´

Do you agree? 

Henry you cant make a word definite always with adding ı/i/u/ü suffix. Because verb also must allow the suffix.

Arabayı kim sürüyor? Who drives the car? (Here it is okay)

Yolculuğu ne kadar? This is wrong because u here can only be a possesive suffix. You need another noun here.

İstanbul yolculuğu ne kadar? How much is the İstanbul trip?

Yolculuğu yaptın mı? Did you do the trip? You see here it is definite because verb also allows it to be definite.

Teşekkürler Gokuyum 

The main thing to know here is you can not make a subject definite with adding ı/i/u/ü. If you add this sufix subject will either transform to an object or it will need another noun and the suffix will function  as it is a possesive suffix or it will not mean anything.

Thaks for all ,many thanks

çok teşekkürler Tunci
