Teach Yourself Turkish Complete Course Audiopackage

Rating:
Summary: Great book, no tape.
Review: Unfortunately, this is the best language book I've found for Turkish. I say 'unfortunately' because the tape, at least in my copy (and apparently others') is absent. The tape is central to the lessons, and I found going without extremely difficult. I've tried picking up whatever audio materials my library has, and thats helped to some degree: its a real hassel, though.

Nevertheless, I think I'm slowly beginning to pick up the language. This book isn't a quick fix like most claim to be: it gradually teaches you the grammar of the language without your even knowing it: it has extremely helpful lessons, and is written very well, understanding that you won't pick up the language in one week, but will have to put effort and sacrifice into it.

I'll continue my quest for the tape; this book is worth it.
