Merhaba tekrar Danielle
In another thread (which I seem to have misplaced) someone mentioned these courses (books and cd s) and said they were good.
"teach yourself" beginners turkish by Asuman Celen Pollard +2 cd s
and
"teach yourself turkish" by Asuman & David Pollard +2 cd s

Maybe someone remembers where this was posted? or, you'll excuse me, who posted them
good luck Danielle

I also like Tarkan very much. It does help a lot to learn the lyrics
Especially for pronounciation.
