Series Details

About

In this series, we will learn all the basics of Turkish, including vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. The goal of this series is to teach you how to speak, read, and write basic Turkish. There will be an emphasis on the speaking part as that is the hardest part of any language to understand. We will engage with each other through discussions and through utilizing the chat feature. Turkish is a beautiful language and I am excited to share it with you. Each session will consist of related vocabulary to the topic and grammar exercises. Speaking and cultural topics will also be included. The session times may change as the summer continues on. If certain times work best for you, please let me know. I will also add more office hours and catchup sessions as needed. Lastly, I will also add more sessions especially if a lot of people are interested in continuing the series.

Tutor Qualifications

I have been taking Turkish classes at my university for the past year. I have earned A's in all of my Turkish classes. I also take private Turkish lessons 2 times a week. I have developed a mastery of Beginning and Pre-Intermediate Turkish. I am also in the process of applying to study abroad next year in Turkey.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Since we will be building off of each session, I recommend not missing any. However, life happens and sometimes you might not make it. I understand and nothing will be held against you. Please let me know if at all possible if you cannot make it, so that I can help you make up the session.

Orientation

We will introduce ourselves and start learning the pronunciation of the alphabet. Turkish has some extra letters and sounds that English does not have. We will practice our pronunciation by reading short sentences and playing a "guess the letter" game.
