I think it's the same as learning any foreign language. There's not a different formule to learn turkish. You have to take it really serious, just staring at the words do not help anything. You have to be systematic and start to learn it from the very start. The grammar ofcourse. The easy sentences with the present tense. Just like in any other language. Because there's not so many people learning turkish as a foreign language doesn't mean that it's because it's difficult. If the turks manage to learn english or any other language, the english speakers can manage to learn turkish too. Anyway, I advise you to go to a language school. I didn't really learn any language without a help of a school.

I too am going to Turkey the 9th of June and want to learn turkish. Where abouts??

P.S i find it very hard.

I don't go to any country. Hehe! Might this be the cause that I find a foreign language easy to learn?

sweet.kane im going from london to gaziantep for 1 week where are you going and where from????

now i've started with grammar lessons but unfortunatly i have to study turkish alone because in my town there aren't turkish courses it's very hard to do this by my own but i believe i will succed or at least i hope so........thank you all for your advices........

Everyone complains of the difficulty of the Turkish language and special additions that characterize the language
I think step by step to learn the language
the first step is study all the gramers and save more vocabulary in your memory
and the last step to learn it , move to live in Turkey cause it is the best way for learn it

Ask an experienced, dont ask Wise

To start with learn vowel harmony then have a good knowledge of the vocabulary. Concentrate on verb tenses, past, present, present contınous and future to begin with.

You must then learn and in my opinion the hardest possessive nouns.

But most of all take your time yavaş yavaş.....
