Neither did I until I was checking it properly. I have added description on sticky list to number 21.

Kumsal comes from kum (sand) and our dictionary translates it as sandy beach while plaj means beach.

Actually "kumsal" refers to the sandy land along the seaside while "plaj" refers to the place that is used by people.

It depends on what you want to say. From your sentences the second one only is correct.

1. Ceket giymek gerekli değil.
There is no need to wear a jacket.
There is no need to wear jackets.
It isn't necessary to wear a jacket.
It isn't necessary to wear jackets.

2. Ceket giymemeliyim.
I must not wear a jacket.

3. Çok konuşman gerekmez.
You don't have to talk too much.

4. Çok konuşmamalısın.

5. Gitmene gerek yok.

6. Gitmem gerekmez.

7. Gitmeme gerek yok.

I couldn't find any proper instrumental version available on the internet. There are only some cheap midi versions not worth listening or mentioning.
Ayten Alpman is the female voice you hear in that record and I think she is the person who sang this song the best so far.

If he likes reading you could buy him simplified books for language learners. These books are referred as readers.

Oxford University Press has a huge collection of them and so does Longman Publishing (Penguin Readers are part of their collection as well).

They vary from 400 headwords to 3700. One can learn English only reading those books provided that you have :

1. a dictionary
2. enough number of readers according your current level
3. fun while reading them
4. the patience to check every single word in the dictionary that you don't understand

I know that this strategy works since I used it myself.

I remember it like yesterday, the day I started reading a Sherlock Holmes book. Dr Watson began was telling a story and it started as "A strange looking woman came in". It was around ten years ago and I picked my dictionary to check the word "strange". I was using my dictionary twenty times per page. It was a little above my level but I couldn't give up reading.

There is an essay by one of our members about a Trabzon village. Click "discover Turkia" on the left menu and then click "your essays".

I'm aware that it is tempting to start with present continuous tense (because the learners are impatient to communicate at the beginning) but I prefer the past tense since I want the learners to read a few simple stories and to build a simple vocabulary very fast so that we have a ground to play around. With a simple and stable vocabulary it is much easier to learn any additional issue.

I found the past tense to be more suitable for simple stories. In the past, I used to ignore the present continuous tense for a longer period. It wasn't even among the first 20 issues, let alone the first 10. Later I decided to more it in front as it gives a wide range of options. One issue that is possible with present continuous is that you can use it to express future tense.
