|
|
Hello guys,
I would like to learn some Turkish. Recently I found this school called 'Turkuaz'. I cannot find much info about it, so maybe someone from here knows more? Can anyone share experience with me where is the best place to learn Turkish?
Regards |

Dil dile değmeden dil �ğrenilmez canım.
Actually, I've heard a lot of good things about T�mer. That's where most of my friends have gone. |

Eww. I heard that sleazy line on more than a few occasions. Usually from middle-aged Turkish men wanting me to introduce them to yabanci girls.
Get a self-study book, watch English movies with Turkish subtitles (you get some excellent slang as well as lots of practical phrases), practice in shops/taxis/restaurants and get yourself a Turkish lover!  |

I've used a number of different books to learn Turkish (never took classes), and I found the best was Yabancı Dilim T�rk�e. I think it's published by Dilmer, but I can't remember. The only thing about that series is that they books don't really have grammatical explanations as they're meant for a class. They only have lots of exercises, so you need to find someone to ask questions to. |

I like watching Turkish movies with English subtitles (like 'Recep Ivedik')
I've heard about Tomer and Dilmer... will email them.
I've got one 'Turkce ogreniyorum' CD, but I am bored already.
I can't practice my language skills yet as I am still in UK. Well.. I could try at my local 'fish and chips' shop though.
Thank you for sharing  |

No need for boredom when you have Recep İvedik to emulate! |

Sinitta,
If you are in London, there are evening classes in Turkish offered at both SOAS and UCL, and maybe other universities.
Try contacting your local university or FE College. |
