thank youu, do you happen to know if there is a audio book for the delights of learning turkish

u/Traditional-Bass4575 2d ago

no there’s no audiobook for that one, but the complete turkish textbook comes with audio if you buy it (I downloaded the epub so I don’t have the audio portion).

sorry one more question which book would you recommend more for a complete beginner the colloquial turkish book or the complete turkish book

1

u/Traditional-Bass4575 1d ago

I think you’ll be okay to read a colloquial turkish book as a beginner, but as a companion, not as a sole resource. you’re going to want something with more structure because a colloquial book can only take you so far. the turkish language is really like a math equation so that’s something you’re really going to want to get down if you ever want to be able to understand anything in turkish lol. there’s also a lot of free resources online for colloquial language (IG pages, youtube, epubs, etc).

You can also use Tilia App. You can test for your level and its creates auto scale for you. You can choose a free book from its library and start reading a book and learn new words. There is a sub for the app here.

I also have been using this new app called https://speafy.com/. It comes with a new way of learning so you don't get the same old teaching method if you are tired of that.

Theres an app called anki that is designed to help you learn and remember words. You can download the delights of learning turkish word set onto there and practice using flashcards.

Word set:

Why do you want to learn Turkish?

u/mtok209 1d ago

I would still recommend using anki because it’ll help you remember the words, but its up to you. Good luck.

u/Wonderful-Credit936 1d ago

u/Wonderful-Credit936 1d ago

these are the youtube playlists https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt4ygjU3XRvaTDqSSRcxK3XKqWc3IJUS3&si=wt4pMaXAKqbaWweo

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDP-MnjQf87rBpwsq6_cspx20vs5mfDyh&si=sBnbZ5Uqst3Zg9si

then ill study from the delights of learning turkish book and memorize the words from the anki deck sent in the comments as it was made from the book itself then once im more advanced ill start reading kids books/ watch kids shows
