I agree with Elisa - the book she recommended is really useful! Another book I really liked was "Colloquial Turkish" by Sinan Bayraktaroglu. I think once you get about half way through any text book, it's a good idea to start running another one alongside it. As for children's books - this is a nice idea. I did this, but I got mine dirt cheap in a supermarket in Turkey - which isn't much use to you! But I did once upon a time get a Turkish children's book off Ebay - maybe you could look there? Or perhaps an imaginative Turkish native off this site will write you a story?! Then we could all try to translate it!

I found kid's books in the local library. There were books that had the story in Turkish on the top of the page, and the English version on the bottom of the page. Very useful! The story is a bit basic , but well, you have to start somewhere in order to be able to read Orhan Pamuk in Turkish 
(which still will take quite some time for me )

Good idea Elisa. Now, knowing me, I could be dreaming about this one... But, I'm sure a while ago I came across a website for Turkish children - which had childrens' stories online - if I can ever remember the link for it, I'll post it! There must be such a site though - as there are so many sites with children's stories in English online - there surely must be some Turkish ones.

You should do that Natlisa! I'll look for those kind of sites too, never thought about that!
You know I learned counting in Turkish when I was watching a kid's program on Turkish TV? They had to do some kind of hopscotch game. Well, by the end of the show I could count to 10!

Quoting Elisa: Are you using some kind of guide to learn Turkish? |
No - only this site, a 'Talk Now' CD-ROM and other online resources!!!

Bod - definitely try www.cocukca.com/index_fla.html and go to "masallar ve öyküler" - after all with New Year's eve approaching - fairy stories could be appropriate

According to a French website I've just been reading, this is the most popular Turkish children's website:
http://www.atlikarincam.com/
It also has links to others kids' sites on it.

Thanks Meltem - to be honest I just found it quickly in a search engine! I'll stay clear of it! The one I just mentioned looks better: www.cocukca.com/index_fla.html
