Tips to Study Turkish

Apr 05, 2022

How you can study Turkish, really depends on your age, language background and learning styles.

However, there are general guidelines you can follow to create your own path.

  1. No Drama No Gain

    Turkish TV series are often fun to watch, especially, when you find the ones for your taste.

    To follow at least one show will help you improve your skills and will help you to learn some isolated words such as "tamam" and "bekle". One setback you might have with dramas that, if you watch a historical one for example, you may acquire some old phrases. But it is still better than learning none. So, it is recommended to company drama learning with more traditional learning styles.

  2. Just a routine

Power of routines are well known today. Set a routine for your learning. It doesn't have to involve hours of studying. It can be, "learn a word everyday", "read your dictionary on the bus", "sing Turkish songs while preparing for work"... The options are limitless. You can dedicate 5 minute everyday even while doing other tasks can help you improve gradually in time. Don't forget! A non-stop going tortoise is faster than a sleeping rabbit.
