Isn’t it a difficult language? I first started learning Turkish about 10 years ago. Unfortunately I have not found it an easy language. Perseverance and genuine motivation are necessary to make progress. However, there are now many good teaching materials available (especially in English). You’ll find my recommendations on the Links page under Language/Culture.
Level 1 of LinguaMemory Turkish complements the excellent book "Elementary Turkish " by Lewis V. Thomas, revised and edited by Norman Itzkowitz. I recommend that you obtain a copy. This book is really only of use if you are committed to learning the language and prepared to invest time and energy.
A simpler way to learn Turkish is with ROSETTA STONE. Contrary to the advertising hype, I do not believe picture book methods are sufficient to teach the language properly, but it is possible to learn basics relatively quickly and effortlessly. If you can afford it (or want to), it is a good complement to another course.
Learning Practical Turkish is not a proper language course in itself, but nevertheless a good complement. (It is worth buying the CD).
I highly recommend Susan Özel’s language course. You can download the audio data files here.
The “unpublished companion text”, which is a very good “book”, can only be obtained directly from the author in the USA. If you are in the USA, I would encourage you to get a hold of it. If you live in Europe certain other costs (shipping) will apply in addition to the purchase price, but it is still well worth the expense.
