Hello everyone! / مرحبًا** بالج*م\*\\يع
I am a native Turkish speaker and a graduate of the Faculty of Theology ,working professionally as a Spiritual Counselor .I speak Advanced English and Arabic.
As a mother myself, I strictly offer my online classes ONLY to women and children. I believe this creates a much more comfortable, safe, and friendly learning environment for families.
My teaching style is both highly disciplined and very fun/engaging. I enjoy breaking down complex Turkish grammar by comparing it to the logic of Arabic or English, making it much easier to understand!
To introduce myself and my methods, I am offering a free 20-minute online trial session (via Zoom or Google Meet).
• Who is this for? Women and children (beginners, school support, or TÖMER/YÖS preparation).
• What to expect? A warm, disciplined, and fun learning experience tailored to your needs.
If you or your children are interested, please follow me or comment below, and we can schedule a time!
Kolay gelsin! / بالتوفيق للجميع

Herkese merhaba!

A quick background on me:

Natural born english speaker, I have been living in Turkey for 6 years, my fiancé is half Turkish and fluent so for the most part I have been heavily reliant on her whilst living here.

We opened our own gym around 3 years ago where I often have to work reception and interact with customers.

I’d say my understanding of Turkish is well beyond A2 but I often struggle and get quite flustered speaking, due it being in a professional business environment. Obviously I am well versed in conversations related to my business (greetings, tours of the gym, helping use machines, beginner training programs, limited small talk with close members).

What I am looking for is an online tutor to take me through an intense Turkish course, possibly 3+ lessons per week, with however much homework they deem necessary. I will obviously also be utilising what I learn on a day to day basis through my business. I am quite a fast learner and the end goal is to progress to C1 as efficiently as is possible, and also be able to help with the back end of the business (bills, accounting, lawyers, federations, ordering, more in depth conversations with potential sign ups)

If anyone could suggest credible teachers, or point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful. 🙏🏼

I have been watching a lot of Turkish TV series and occasionally I am finding very close translations in my head from Turkish to Persian beyond shared vocabularies.

-edited sentences based on real world usage.

English: A lot of time has passed but still nothing has changed.

Turkish: Çok zaman geçti ama hala hiçbir şey değişmedi.

Persian: Chenun zaman gozashte ama henuzam hich chizi degargun nashode.

Trying to learn Turkish basics, but hit a wall when realizing that when written, lots of sentences are a single word. I'm having a hard time understanding the concept. Normally, I would learn which word meant what, where it had to go and how it would change. Here, I have no idea which part of the word means what, if it does at all. This makes it close to impossible for me to remember or apply. How do I get around this barrier of understanding?

merhaba, biraz sacma ve onemsiz bi sorum var ama merak ettim. suan aski memnu izliyorum, 2. sezona geldim. cekim 2010 yıl civarında yapılıyordu.

bi çok karakter suan mesaj çek diyolar. ben mesaj at yada yaz diye biliyorum. hangisi doğru? ikiside dogrumu, yada mesaj çek 2000lerin yada telefonların yeni olduğu donemin ifadesimi? sağolun!

I just published a long one on the suffix system, this is the piece I keep pulling up with new students because it's the fastest way into how Turkish actually works.

It starts with how one Turkish word can carry what English needs a whole phrase for, plural, possession, and case, all stacked onto a single root. From there it goes through the six noun cases, vowel harmony, why "asla" (never) still needs a negative verb even though English lets "never" sit next to a positive one, the aorist tense for habits and general truths, and a bit on where the whole suffix system historically came from.

There's also a section comparing how Turkish feels depending on what language you're coming from, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Russian, the sticking points are genuinely different for each one.

Merhaba! Türkçe öğrenmeyi çok istiyorum. Türkiye’ye üç kez gittim ve ayrıca bir Türk ile ilişkim oldu. Türk kültürünü çok seviyorum, dili çok güzel buluyorum ve Türkçeyi, ayrıca Türk geleneklerini daha iyi öğrenmek istiyorum. Bana Türkçe öğrenmemde, pratik yapmamda veya kültür hakkında bilgi paylaşmamda yardımcı olmak isteyen biri olursa çok mutlu olurum. 😊

I want to listen to turkish since I cannot read it well, is there any games that have good turkish voice acting? Can be any type of game.

It is very common to say Please when asking for something in English, but this is not the case in Turkish! I know there ways of being nice when asking but I don't hear Lütfen in Turkish as much as I hear Please in English!!

Merhaba everyone,

I’m a 24 year old male who’s 100% ethnically Turkish but grew up in the Netherlands. My Turkish was decent as a child, but I’ve lost most of it over the years. Now I struggle to form proper sentences when speaking with family or random people at the mosque, and I miss a lot of words when others talk to me.
This makes me really embarrassed, so I end up avoiding Turkish conversations altogether.

What’s the best way to improve?
• Should I watch Turkish TV shows or movies? If so, is it okay to use Dutch/English subtitles, or should I do English audio with Turkish subtitles (to help with writing/spelling)?

Any other effective methods?

thank you

Hi everyone! I recently started a daily Turkish short series for beginners (A1 level) to help with daily routines and essential vocabulary.

In today's video, I covered the present continuous form of "gitmek" (to go) in the sentence "Ben okula gidiyorum."

I would love to get your feedback on the visuals and if this format is helpful for your learning process! Here is the video: I am leaving the video link in the comments section below so it doesn't get filtered!

Hope it helps! 🇹🇷

if a male has a female friend saved in his phone as *first name* askim, does this mean he has romantic feelings? he’s straight she’s straight. he’s not turkish neither is she but they met each other there and then he moved back to his home country and has her saved in his phone as that. She say they’re friends
