Hi

I am currently trying to learn the turkish language and have been using the classes that you have on this website, whilst they have been VERY helpful, can anyone recommened any books, websites, dvds ect that would be a good follow on as all the stuff i have is very much aimed at tourist.

Thank you

Hoş Geldiniz Luna! I hope you enjoy learning, you´ve come to a wonderful place. I´m learnşng Turkish also and found There´s many helpful and great folks here.

You can start here with the tab at the top called "Learn Turkish" and "classes" and study the lessons (Id even take notes) which cover all the aspects of grammar, vowel harmony, and alphabet. Other nice sites I have found;

Manisa Turkish - Mr. John Guise is not a native Türk but he spent years living in Turkey and learning the language because he was working there so he learned the way a child does being immersed in the culture. His site covers basic grammar, alphabet and vowel harmony  and a few other extra aspects of the language.

Learn Turkish Channel -YouTube. She has shared many videos that give both an audio and visual examples of grammar vowel harmony and vocabulary words. Plus her own personal likes but you can only watch the lessons if you want.

When you are more familar with the three main starting points (Vowel Harmony, Alphabet and Sentence structure) these places provide some practice and self quizes.

Oxford University Turkish Studies - This is a collection of Turkish language games, and self given quizes along with some extras like news for you to listen to (just listening helps with hearing how to say and use the letters)

LiveMocha - You will have to register and set the language you want to learn to Turkish of course but basic lessons are free, and you have the chance to meet other Turkish Learners and get help from native speakers. YOu can also teach others your own language.
