Quoting erdinc: for conguation there is the free program winmekmak and a website which conjugates any Turkish verb you write. Both are listed on sticky list of web pages in this very forum section.
To get to know which verb to use when, you need to read or listen the language. My suggestion would be reading. |
WinMekMak is excellent and I would not be without it now!
But it does fail in some places, such as aorist participles.
As your suggestion is reading, can you also suggest something to read? I know you are working on some stories suitable for beginners but is there anything available right now that you would consider suitable?

Langenscheidt Pocket Dictionary Turkish. I find this really useful. I did have a problem getting one and did finally obtain one off the internet, but they are readily available at bookshops ( kitapçılar)in Turkey and not expensive.

Turkish Grammar for Foreign Students by Mehmet Hengirmen
Engin Publishing
I don't know if this book is available outside of Turkey.
Also, see: www.milet.com They are a publishing house which publishes in many languages including Turkish. They also publish bilingual editions of Turkish writers. So, left page Turkish, right page English.

I would personally recommend this book:
"Adım Adım Türkçe" (Dilset Yayinlari)
You can buy the levels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
You'll have the course book and the exercise book + cds.
It's very colourful, full of pictures, entertaining (jokes, dialogues, etc) and explains things very clearly.

I bought Colloquial Turkish: The Complete Course for Beginners by Ad Backus & Jeroen Aarssen, it's quite old now, you could buy the CDs and tapes seperately, but I bought the whole pack which included the book, 2 cassettes and 2 Cds.It only cost £25 , it contains conversations and is quite helpful, although at times I found it quite confusing. Although my cousin found it very helpful and would not even look at another book!
I also have Teach Yourself Turkish by Asuman çelen Pollard & David Pollard, which has already been mentioned, and I find that book to be fantastic, it really explains things so well.
