Quoting Chantal: I once sent an e-mail to Tömer but they never replied to that. |
İ have emailed TÖMER İstanbul and actually they always replied
İ was asking about short terms courses,and they provided that there are private lessons there for 40$/hour
İ believe that is way too expensive for an hour,no ?!
Quoting libralady:
I started to us TOMER online, but never got a response to homework, which they were supposed to mark, so I gave up with it. |
İ was going to use their online courses tho,then i believe its not recommended tho :-S

Canli, the course structure and content of the online courses are very comprehensive, if only they responded to emails (mostly got messages to say email box full so I never knew if they got them or not) and when I sent work to be marked to finish a module, I got no response at all. So in the end, I don't know if I was learning correctly, I gave up.

Thanks LL for your feedback,but if that is the case then its not worthy
Having the books 'HİTİT Course' will give same result

Hello, and welcome to Turkey. I know quite a few foreigners who live in Turkey. Most of them initially attended langauge schools, where they were indoctrinated with the standard text book definitions and grammar drills. My suggestion to you is that do not waste your money on any of these bogus langauge schools.
My suggestion to you is to find a private tutor, who speaks English well, and meet every two weeks. Two lessons a month. Some of these tutors are really expensive, others aren't. However, what they offer is a lot more than what you should expect to get at a langauge school. Additionally, you should self-study the grammar yourself for it is quite regular. You should formulate questions, and use the private tutor to clarify these issues for you.
What language schools do is to waste your time with impractical aspects of grammar. If your primary goal is to be able to get by in daily life, then all you have to do is to focus on the use of about 300 words or so.
I think language schools are mostly rip-offs.
Quoting mariamarpp: I would like to know if there is some good intensive school to learn the turkish language, since only with my books and sözlük is not enough, want to learn more everyday, but I need some effective way for that...I appreciate your possible help, Maria del Mar |
