Can I learn Turkish on my own?
You can certainly start: Turkish is read as it’s written and its grammar is very logical. The alphabet, phrases, words and basic grammar are easy to pick up with this section. To speak fluently you need conversation practice with native speakers.
Where should I start learning Turkish?
With the alphabet and pronunciation rules — an evening or two. Then the basic phrases and the 50 most common words with audio, and then grammar: vowel harmony, “to be” and the present tense. The level test will show what you already know.
How do I find out my Turkish level?
Take the Turkish level test: grammar, vocabulary and reading from A1 to C1. You get a CEFR level, the topics to work on and a 2-week plan.
