For instance, save the program on your desktop and leave it there. This program is for free. I strongly recommend it. I have contributed to the last version myself. I think it works great. It recognises the verb while you type. Type an infinitive and it will give you full conjugations. You can also type a conjugation and it will tell you the infinitive. To do this, run the program and press F3 on your keyboard. A new window will appear where you can type the conjugation. Here is a screenshot:

I always use this site

http://learnturkce.blogspot.com/

Wow everyone great sites thanks

I didn´t see the following site mentioned, but it is also a very good site for learning and interaction with other learners. (It is not that good for explanations, unless you get a good Turkish native speaker who can spend time explaining things.)

Live Mocha

Merhaba

thank you for this sites and links and i know very useful site

www.livemoche.com

we can study turkish and many other languages

does anyone have a link for a turkish news/talk radio station (in turkish) that i can stream through iTunes to listen to?

thanks, justin

 http://www.diziizle.net/ 

I don´t know if it works through itunes.  Open the main page and look for "canlýTV" in the rectangle near the top.  It opens a list of News, Sports etc stations in Turkey.  If youhave the right plug in, you watch Live TV.  Also down lower, there are a lot of movies of all kinds.   Even English language movies with Turkish dub overs.  For example, they have "Men in Black" and "300".

 Very good link..i can watch movies doubled in Turkish.

 I was wondering if you can send mem the audio files...

I have a yahoo and hotmail not gmail

Thanks in advance

Found a great Turkish learning game...

http://www.digitaldialects.com/Turkish.htm

Lots of other languages too...just thought I´d share.

I would also suggest The Turkish Listening Library.  It is a web based library of  Turkish audio for Turkish language learners.  The Handcrafted Audio Podcast is great for beginners.  There are lots of listening links at the website.  But you can check it out for yourself.

www.turkishlisteninglibrary.com

sesli chat

This site is helpful too.

Gives you  vocbuary and most sounds of words and sentances.

 andhttp://www.masteranylanguage.com/cgi/f/pCat.pl?tc=MALTurkish&la=

Plus the fun games like style makes it fun to learn.

It helps to know what the word sounds like.

I can´t be the only one that can´t understand what there speaking about, but if they write it, you attemt to know what there saying. 

This is just a grammar overview, but someone might find it useful

http://www.filesonic.com/file/91379272/David.Pierce-Turkish.Grammar.pdf

I didn´t know there was that many sites, here are my additions;

Below is my blog to practise Turkish with Turkish songs and series plus some learning material

http://www.practiseturkish.blogspot.com/

The other is comprehensive Turkish learning site where you can also order Turkish course books

It is a very small specialized center where the focus is on helping couples or

small groups of up to six people at a time.

There is a delightful high quality guest house to stay.

Thanks a lot!

Merhaba! Can you please send me the audio files to my email: ebrubulutseviyor_AD@yahoo.com

I have a question one of your moderators/inventors of this program clearly has some problems using nonexisting words. Example would be " bestest " another example of poor quality control would be the following sentence. " Tha brayne processing synonyms seamlessly!"

the word "best" is already a superlative. The word "best" means "better than all the rest. There is nothing better than the best.

I suppose you are not talking about Turkish-English course but maybe another course on duolingo?

I just searched and we neither have bestest nor brayne in our course.

But still, it is normal to have typos, especially in beta courses. That is why a report function exists.

I remember you diliduduk - welcome back!  The mistakes iodine mentioned are made by ´Bariş_Obdan´ in two different updates in the Turkish-English section.  I don´t think they are typos and I think his English is a bit strange!

Great idea for a language site though as long as the contrıbutors have a good grasp of both languages like yourself.

Thank you

Now I get it! Baris speaks perfect English (much better than I do), as he lived for a long time in USA. He is very familiar with everyday slang, and this is what he used when he wrote these posts just to keep things a littlee bit funny. Don´t worry he (and I) is capable of using appropriate English as well, and this is what we used building the course; you of course do not see such slang in the course itself. 

Thanks for the reply.  I´m looking forward to the further development of the site.  (I would say that ´bestest´ is often used in spoken English as a way of emphasing even better than best, eg young girls often say ´x is my very bestest friend´ - but it´s not ´officially´ correct obviously!).

Hi everyone, 

I am new on this fantastic website to learn Turkish ! I am French and I have been learning Turkish for one year now. For French-speaking people, I am updating a blog with Turkish songs I like and Turkish lessons on specific points I have learned so far ! If you are interested do not hesitate and take a look at :

http://chansonsturques.wordpress.com/ 

Best regards to all,

Kolay gelsin !

I had a look. Nice site. I like Ziynet Sali. I noticed you had Mor yıllar as Purple Years. I think Mor yıllar means the embarassing years (i.e. purple in the face). Can someone let know if that is the case?

Merhaba Denizli,

Maybe the title of the song is a pun.

As I am not a Turkish speaking person I can´t tell if your guess is true !

“Around the Board” Gaming Restaurant wishes to begin function Apr 1st of this season, with a finish game enjoying place, meals (sandwiches) and caffeinated beverages (espresso) to keep her clientele satisfied.

I´ve found a French website to learn turkish which is pretty good !

There is a lot of courses but also exercices to practice (such as extracts of movies, translations...). 

Here is the link : http://www.okumak.fr/

It might be useful for French speakers willing to learn French !
