So far, virtually all the Turkish that I have learnt (and that isn't much!) has been from this site. I do have a CD-ROM which is OK for getting a feel for pronunciation and learning a few words but it does nothing to teach grammar or structure.

From what I've seen so far this site is great

You're welcome.....
Just something I wrote to assist myself but if it helps others as well then that is great

It will get extended to do more in the future - or maybe I'll just write a few different test type things. If you have any ideas for improvement of this or ideas for other helpful similar things then let me know.

I know that for most people on this site it will be far too simple to be of any use. But I am a complete beginner! To try and help myself learn instinctively the vowel groups, I have written a simple test. The more I try it the quicker I become at knowing which vowels belong to which group without having to think about it at all which is the whole idea.

The test is here:
Vowel Group Practice

I intend to develop this much further and eventually extend it to cover major and minor vowel harmony rules and even perhaps consonant harmony rules.

Your feedback would be apprieciated - both about what is already there and how it might be usefully changed and/or extended to make it more useful. Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Bod

yeah... one moral in life is to expect and hope for nothing as then, anything good that does come ones way can be classed as a bonus



That's one way of looking at things......
But aiming high also helps you get what you want - get means you have to accept disappointment sometimes!!!

I'm really glad you asked that question.......
I was wondering exactly the same thing myself!

Mind you, I have enough questions to keep everybody busy answering them for a decade or so - I'll try not to ask too many all at once

Strangely, a large percentage put none. I was trying to remember the word which meant neither male nor female. I thought it began with a U ???

Quoting AlphaF:

Mella,

İf you say " o kitap.....", you are talking about a definite book, but one that is not in sight. Perhaps it is somewhere in the library.

"Şu kitap....." is similar to "That book...", a book that is in the same room but far away from the speaker.



If we had been talking about a specific book and clearly identified that book, perhaps by discussing its title and content, would it be referred to as "Şu kitap" in the same conversation even if it was still located in a library???

I haven't even got as far as consonant harmony yet.......I have that pleasure ahead of me!!! But I will gladly post the links to the tools I am writing to help me learn the rules just as soon as they are available.
