This course is aimed at beginners in written and spoken Turkish, as well as those who want to develop an existing knowledge of the language. Sixteen carefully graded, interlocking units each introduce new language structures firmly embedded in a functional context, demonstrating how the language is put to use in everyday situations. Each unit begins with an opening dialogue accompanied by simple comprehension questions and notes about the language or Turkish culture. A small number of language points are fully explained and illustrated by examples, and exercises are included to test your learning. At the end of each chapter a shorter dialogue is linked to the opening one.
