"It is almost impossible to find a book that has such a good combination of Turkish grammar, modern colloquial expressions and cultural information."
Book Description
This entirely updated edition of Colloquial Turkish is an ideal quide for those who wish to acquire immediate useful knowledge of the language. The basics of written and spoken Turkish are explained clearly and systematically.
The course is based on a communicative syllabus which introduces the learner to core principles of the Turkish language and shows the way it is used in practice. Vocabulary and grammar are introduced in typical situations and social contexts for a visitor to Turkey. Special focus is given to functional uses of the language, such as making an introduction or asking for information. Exercises are varied and interesting, and are supplemented by verb tables, a pronunciation guide, and a two-way glossary.
Colloquial Turkish assumes no previous knowledge of the language. An accompanying cassette is also available.
