Summary: .
Comment: Bought this so I could learn to speak with some of my friends from Turkey- wow, designed well I think, though some words aren't in the dictionary printed in the back (that's where the internet comes in handy) but that's thankfully not so common. I found it really easy to learn and speak using this- a great buy for the language dipper

Summary: seems okay but i lost interest
Comment: I lost interest halfway through this book. It's not bad, but I guess I was expecting starting with more conversational phrases instead of rules of language. There were a lot of exercises for which I would flip back to try to figure out what each word meant and occasionally get frustrated when a new word not previously defined was introduced. Sorry I didn't finish it. I will bring it on my trip though.

Summary: Learning Turkish
Comment: This standard for the English learning Turkish is everything I hoped it would be. I am working my way through the lessons with the help of my Turkish friends and hope to be able to speak and understand with some proficiency when I next visit Turkey.

Summary: A Grammar Manual
Comment: This book is more or less for advanced students of language who have a better capacity to absorb grammar and language structure than the average tourist wishing to learn a few words in the local language. Some of it is outdated as language is constantly changing, but the vast majority of the information is useful for today.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Good middle difficulty starter book
Comment: I use this book in combination with a simple tourist primer (for light studying while walking) and other more challenging books (that require more motivation). This book is excellent as a vehicle for steady (though not completely rigorous) acquisition of vocabulary and grammar.
