While visiting Turkey, some tourists are so keen on this country that they decide to learn as much as possible about it: get to know the culture and history, and also learn to speak Turkish.
Learn the basics of the Turkish language
Learn the alphabet and reading rules. Turkish letters are written in Latin. If you know the English alphabet, reading most of the characters shouldn't be a problem for you. However, Turkish has a number of specific letters that must be learned separately. For example, ç corresponds to the sound [h].
Study by self-study guide. For example, you can purchase the book by Yu. V. Schek "Intensive course of the Turkish language" in the store. You can also find tutorials on the Internet. For example, a Turkish language course for beginners is presented at https://www.de-fa.ru/turkish.htm. On the forum you can ask questions arising from self-study.
Study with a teacher
Sign up for courses. Learning Turkish is not very popular, so it is not possible to find classes in all cities. The most famous schools in Moscow are DeFa and Dialogue. In the future, if you have the desire and opportunity, you will be able to study at the Tomer courses in Turkey and receive a professional certificate after passing the exams.
Find a Turkish tutor. Many course teachers teach private lessons on the premises of language schools. You can also find a teacher who will come to your home. Many teachers are ready to teach classes via Skype. Therefore, you can study even if you live with a teacher in different cities.
Chat with native speakers. It is easy to meet Turks on the Internet, for example, on social networks. Turkish men are often overly concerned with women. Therefore, if you do not want to enter into a personal relationship, try to find a Turkish woman to communicate. They are usually friendly and outgoing, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to find a pen pal.
More practice
Listen to songs in Turkish. On the Internet, you can find the words of your favorite songs. Try to translate yourself and then learn the text. This will help you learn new words and grammatical constructions.
Watch films in Turkish. For starters, you can choose a movie with subtitles in Russian. When you learn the language a little better, watch films with captions in Turkish. In the future, you will be able to understand most of the dialogues by ear, and you will not need subtitles.
Chat while traveling to Turkey. Feel free to speak Turkish. At first, you will make many mistakes, find it difficult to find words. This is a natural step in learning a new language. The more you speak Turkish, the faster you will learn the language.
