Could someone please tell me if the BBC Turkish pages are relatively easy, intermediate or difficult examples of the Türkçe language......I had a quick look at them and couldn't understand very much without reference to a dictionary and lots of head scratching!

Before I try again I would like to know that they are not going to be ridiculously difficult for me to understand!!!

Quoting Kadir37:

[I]Look at this page:
http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_6_4356



As I can't (easily) read the content of this page that doesn't really help me

Ah thanks - I understand more now.....

However it doesn't really answer my question!
Is the language on this page any more or less challenging than I would come across everyday in Türkiye?

Hurriyet is the only Turkish newspaper avaiable in Poland. I read it sometimes. I don't think it's very difficult. However, it depends on a topic.

Reading a newspaper is really an advanced issue for any learner of a foreign language I think. I find it easier to read popular novels than reading newspapers in English.

Can you understand Turkish newspapers?

http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/anasayfa/



Hurriyet is the only Türk newspaper I have attempted to read - I can get a general idea about what is being said but it takes me a very long time and lots of looking at the dictionary........

I generally take at least an hour to understand a short paragraph

So I consider Hurriyet to be advanced (for me)
