Teach Yourself Beginner's Turkish Audiopackage

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: The authors have made an easy and excellent course, both didactically and in content. The Beginner's Turkish brings you many everyday dialogues and useful vocabulary which are supported by numerous question-answer exercises to reinforce the learned material and control your understanding of the dialogues. It can be regarded as a complete course for tourists as all (most) typical situations are well covered.

The two CDs are the key to understand spoken Turkish in real conversation. The stress is on communication and grammar is introduced without noticing it. The Beginner's Turkish prepares you gradually to follow with ease the next level (Teach Yourself Turkish) which is also for beginners, but contains more complex grammar and dialogues.

The Beginner's Turkish is also appropriate for advanced learners of Turkish (my case) since the material it presents is both up-to-date and practical (cultural manners and customs) which as a whole make you feel at home when speaking with Turkish people. Knowing the language opens many doors, but most important is to understand the people.
