I recommend you use real learning materials. Don´t just read and listen or don´t just listen and repeat, but also answer these stories aloud! Study each story again and again until you answer the questions easily and fast. Enjoy learning Turkish.

Thank you for your nice comments, Almeda, Lady in Red and Turkish Teacher.

It´s not better than this or that but as one of the users said, "it is filling the void between (a certain) self study course and (a certain) website".

Thank your for your comment, Bea Blanchi. I’m happy you liked the site. In these short story lessons, I’m directly talking to you and you are talking to me. I’m telling you a mini story but after every sentence I’m asking you many many questions. All you need to do is to pause the audio when you hear a question and give me a short answer without thinking about grammar rules. When you play the audio again, you will hear my answer. If you study a lesson again and again, you’ll see that you can answer the questions fast and easily. You’ll learn both grammar rules and vocabulary naturally.

Visitors can contact me on my site and they do not have to submit their emails to do that. Just tell me you want to see more short story and grammar lessons for free.

Enjoy learning Turkish.    

  

 

Quoting Bea Blanchi

I just had a look at the website, and it looks fine, fun and engaging. Well done!

 

I also think that the interactive process is a great incentive to bring people to actually take lessons.

 

Inovative way to promote learning Turkish.

 

I liked it, thanks, I think it will help me and I´ll benefit from it.

 Thank you for taking the time to look at one of my lessons and thank you for your comments. But as you said, Güneş ve Rüzgar is not an easy lesson. It is for those who have learned Turkish to a certain level. But one who has studied the previous lessons shouldn´t have much difficulty working it out. I´m sorry that you were able to open only this page. I wonder what may have caused that. There are easier short story lessons before Güneş ve Rüzgar. Anyway, I´ll take your comments into consideration to improve the site.

As long as people let me know that they are interested in my lessons and ask me questions where they have trouble understanding something, I can make revisions on my pages and prepare better lessons.  Even I´ve got a special page where I´m answering learners´ questions. http://www.turkishturkish.net/your-questions.html

And there is also "your page" where you can ask me to make a special lesson for you. http://www.turkishturkish.net/your-page.html 

And all that is free, off course.

 Well I think the idea is really good, pronounciation is a big problem to tackle for new learners and by hearing you learn the way sentences are structured, intonation and pronounciation rather fast. I can say I learnt more from watching tv and listening music and the people around me than I did from grammar rules, however for those who arent as lucky as I was to spend a long time in Turkey, learning from audio files with explanatory grammar seems a good alternative abroad.

 

But I took a look at one of the available free audio files (Güneş ve Rüzgâr) and I think the level is way too high for a beginner. There are way too many different grammar things, future tense, -duğu suffix, present continuous, -a, -e noun cases (as well as related to verbs), -tikçe, etc etc. For example, it took me a long time to understand the difference between ´ben olduğumu´ and ´kimin olduğunu´, I was wondering why there was no genitivus in ´ben´ but there was in ´kimin´, and I had covered the basics by the time I got there! Yani, someone who hasn´t learned how to say ´nasılsın´ let alone how it is constructed, how can they understand ´nasıl olduğunu merak ettim´, how can someone who doesnt know how to say that the wind blows, use ´the more the wind blowed´? For example, one question needs to be answered with ´Esmeye başlıyor´, but where is the explanation that present continuous is ´iyor´, where does it say that the a gets dropped and then the i changes into ı because of vowel harmony, where does it say the verb stem is es- and başla-, and how does a learner know that ´başlamak´ goes with ´-e´?

 

I think the idea is really useful, but my suggestion is you focus your audio files on 1 part of grammar each, for example first a text where the present continuous is used a lot, then one with di´li geçmiş zamanı and so on. There is too much information for the beginner in one piece, and though someone who is excited to learn will puzzle out all the different things in the first lessons, will realize it is so much and I am afraid will get tired after a while. Its better to put a lot of pieces with little information than a big piece with a lot of information.

 

I know I basedmy opinion just on this audio file but that is because it is the only one I was able to open, and frankly it is too complicated. I understand that before starting the weekly lessons you start with studying the basic grammar you provided (which seems good), however, it is the basics that a new learner wants to have covered quickly and thAt in my opinion, is done faster by audio, so maybe it would be nice to provide audio files for them as well. The idea of learning Turkish ´the audio way´ may be conveyed more if you provide small texts and audio files using the grammar provided in the quick start menu.

 Just have a look here   http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_22196

 

 Thank you for the list, ReyhanL. I know some of them and I´ll check the others too. But let me tell you what is unique about my site is that it offers interactive conversation lessons based on mini stories. It focuses on listening and speaking rather than grammar rules.
