Have you learned some basic Turkish but find it hard to speak or understand when people talk to you?
Don't worry! I've helped over 300 Turkish learners one-on-one, and I've seen them quickly grasp the language and start to thrive independently.
Turkish is quite different, requiring a shift in thinking to fully understand its logic. That's why, after teaching grammar, I offer numerous exercises to help you understand and digest each point. Through contextual reading, you'll learn how to apply what you've learned in real situations. Plus, you'll gain cultural insights that make learning even more meaningful and fun.
In the course, I explain the key points in English to ensure your understanding, and I also use Turkish to improve your listening skills. Whenever I speak Turkish, English subtitles are provided, so you don't miss a thing!
Most importantly, you'll see me throughout the entire course, ensuring you learn the correct pronunciation and feel like we're in class together.
After completing this course, you will be able to travel to Turkey, use Turkish to navigate, connect with locals, communicate with your Turkish partner and family members, and so much more!
