Title: Turkish by distance learning
Post by: Cavfan on June 24, 2004, 16:21:20 PM: http://www.turkish-center.com/
Whilst looking for something quite unrelated I happened across this site which looks very good. It has courses at basic, intermediate and advanced and is reasonably priced. There are even 90 day fast tracks- just in time for our next trip. Might be worth a look.

Unfortunately there isn't time before our next visit which is a week Thursday :D When we return we shall have a go at it.

Regards, Karen

I am enrolling on a course in September at our local college £109 for 30 lessons as the thing i am missing now is conversation
good luck everyone who is serious about learning. i think generally the english are very lazy when it comes to learning other languages even when we do decide to live abroad we expect everyone to speak English! It is a good job the turks are not the same!

Hi Sez1, I think that this website should be ignored from the experiences that you and I have had. Although it is 'supported' by Ankara University, I think it is American from the spelling that they use. I shall continue to try learning Turkish by visiting the county more often.

Post by: canalman on August 26, 2004, 18:26:22 PM: Congratulations on your third star, Cavfan. I am now subscribed to http://www.onlineturkish.com and I am finding it very good. There is grammar involved but I find it a good means of learning the language. It isn't very expensive either.
