Are there any newspapers or comics that are produced in Türkçe that are intended for children to read??? I am thinking that any such publication (either paper or on-line) would be ideal for anyone new to the language.

In England there are several - or at least there used to be, it is a while since I was a child If there is something similar written in Türkçe it would be a very helpful aid to our learning I expect.

This sounds like a good idea. A way to learn more basic/simple Turkish.

With comics/cartoons you have pictures from which to hopefully gain the context of what is written.

Well i dont know about UK, but try the library. In our library (Holland), at the children's department, they also have foreign languages books. We even have Harry Potter in Turkish here! I took 2 children's books, meant for 7-aged to read themselves and for 4-aged to be read. It's still too difficult for me But i made vocabulary lists for each page. I will study those and then try to read again so that i can also get used to the basic word-order and sentence-construction.

So if i were you, I'd take a look in the library and ask for Turkish childrensbooks. There are many Turkish newspapers on the internet. A while ago i bought myself a Hürriyet. I know this is not a childrensnewspaper, but i found it quite easy, at least the little articles

Good luck.

i have been to library in derby and the only turkish thing they had was a tape on how to order ya food and tea snf the book shops in my town are no good either
really could do with something even an baby book learning the alphabet and basic word!!!
perhaps we should start our own up. if ya can help me it would help anyone because im struggling

Yes, but you probably went to the adult section for language-learning, right? Here in Holland they also only have such books. But if you go ask at the help-service in your library, they might have more than you think.

Our library, which is definitely not an extremely big one or anything, offers books in many languages. From Dutch to English, from Turkish to Swedish. In Turkish there are even translated Danielle Steel's and Qur'ans. In the children department are books from Disney, but also fairytales, comics, Barbie or Harry Potter.

Maybe we have them because there are many Turkish people in Holland. I don't know about England.. But i think any bigger library should have those?

Next academic year i can be of more help I hope to write my own little stories by then.
