 I really like this book's approach June 24, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a person who noodles his way through language books. I take my time, don't stress out, follow my curiosity, go over and over the basics, and finally do pretty well speaking and understanding. These TY books fit my approach. They intelligently unfold the whole of basic grammar. And they have excellent dialogs on CD.
Here is how I do a lesson a week:
Monday - Figure out the two dialogs
Tuesday - Read the lesson
Wednesday - 1/2 of the exercises
Thursday - 1/2 of the exercises
Friday - Read a previous lesson or two
As for the audio, I listen to the dialog ten times each day on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. My goal is for my mind to move along with the speakers which means that what I hear has to go from gobbledygook to phonemes to Turkish that I understand. I do some, but not too much, pausing and rewinding and looking things up and mainly I do this on Tuesday.
I should add that part of my approach is to go back through the book again and again after I finish it. I am currently on my third pass through this book. Similarly, I am on my sixth pass through Pimsleur Conversational Turkish. On later passes, I review a chapter or two of a book like this on Fridays and do a CD of Pimsleur, half Thursday, half Friday.
I recommend you do Conversational Turkish: Learn to Speak and Understand Turkish with Pimsleur Language Programs (Simon & Schuster's Pimsleur) before you use this TY Turkish. Then do Teach Yourself Turkish Conversation (3CDs + Guide) (Teach Yourself) afterwards which is more practice (with a little more pressure) in speaking-only.
Don't get the CD December 13, 2007

This package is great. I haven't had much of an oppurtunity to consistently study, but the speed and order is great.
But don't buy the seperate CD that goes with this. It turns out this is the audio package, and you already have the sound.
Great product, highly recommend. A+++
great, really helpful book October 24, 2007
Very good book, really helped me with starting and practicing turkish!
Recommended for all who wants to start speak or understand turkish!
Book arrived with CDs October 19, 2007
The book arrived quickly and came with the CDs. I am fully satisfied with the purchase, however my friend ordered the same book with the same isbn number and did not receive the CDs. I have no idea why.
The book itself is very useful for those of us who want to learn the kind of turkish you'd hear on the phone, in the street or in conversations between friends. While there are explanations for the grammar points, the book is dominated by useful common examples and the grammar points shown in not just sentences, but in entire dialogs.
This is by far my favorite Turkish learning book.
Great book=) October 13, 2007
Hei! I'm a norwegian(!) girl who's been trying to learn herself turkish. this book is really awesome!! it explains all the grammar so nice, so even me who's a foreigner can understand it. (And I've learned quite a lot of english grammar as well I think;) The only thing I'd like more of, are the exercises at the end of each chapter. (I don't always get the point in just one exersice). apart from that, this is the best book I've found so far. (And I've tried several:P )
Good luck to everyone buying it!! Eli:)
