I'm confused by this book - Amazon list it in three different places.......one seems to be just the CD, and the other two seem to be the book......
Is this the book??? |

Teach Yourself Turkish
Yes I recommend this book, I bought it without the CD, and is so helpful, the questions after each chapter are very useful and it explains things nicely.

Does anyone know of a VOCABULARY ONLY book?
I am looking for a (small) book that ONLY contains wordlists.. preferably ordered on topic, such as traffic, kitchen, politics, animals, environment, health, jobs, hospital..
It doesnt matter if its for English to learn Turkısh or for Turkish to learn English.. so a vocabulary book that might be used in prep classes at turkish highschools will do too!
We had such books at highschool for French and German, so İ figured maybe they have it in Turkey for English as well!

You should try with Langenscheidt's dictionary. It is great for tourists and beginners, you can find it in any country and in any combination of languages, it's made two-way - half is, for example, Turkish-English, and other half is English-Turkish; besides it has a small attachment with common phrases, food etc. And you can put it in your pocket (if you don't have too small pockets). I don't have any newer edition (but I've seen it), so I don't know how many words it has, but in my old Langenscheidts there are 35.000 words in each one. It is not meanted for proffessional translators, but it will help you, and it is not expensive.
Cheers!

I found the Elementary Turkish book by Lewis Thomas to be completely useless as a beginner. For someone who is aqcuainted with linguistic terminology it might be helpful but even then I'm not so sure.
Turkish Grammar by Geoffrey Lewis is great for intermediate learners, it's not really an introduction though.
Teach Yourself Turkish by the Pollards is pretty good as far an an introductory book with audio component goes. I would recommend it for starters.
A NEW BOOK THAT IS AWESOME:
A Dictionary Of Turkish Verbs: In Context And By Theme
This book is amazing for intermediate/advanced learners... under each verb it gives idiomatic expressions which use it, including common proverbs/sayings. I haven't been able to dig into this one due to lack of time as much as I would like to but I can tell that it will be immensely helpful once I do. Note: you don't really use this like a regular dictionary...it's more of a language reference manual.
They have it at amazon:

I recently bought this book and I am not that impressed with it's layout inside, with the grammar being all over the place too! Very limited dialogue on the CD. But I will persevere - I am waiting for my 201 verbs to come.

I second libralady's recommendation for the Milet dictionaries. I just received the gigantic "Milet Comprehensive Dictionary: Büyük Sözlük" from www.bn.com. The pages and the print are very clear.

Has anyone ever tried books, cd's, software published by Learnpracticalturkish? I think their website is very useful (and also very chaotic but I try to look past that..)
I wonder about that LPT's Broadband Edition 11.2 though.. It's more of a reference book than a course really. Anyone?

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. |
Thanks to your post, I downloaded this program and find it's a great source. Thank you again for posting the information.
