Turkish language for beginners

Turkish is a key to understanding the rich history and culture of Turkey, as well as an important tool for those planning to travel, work, or study in Turkey. Turkish is studied not only by people interested in tourism or international relations, but also by those working with Turkish companies, studying at Turkish universities, or simply wishing to deepen their knowledge of this important language for Eastern Europe. Knowledge of Turkish also opens up opportunities for communication with native speakers not only in Turkey and Cyprus but also within the Turkish diaspora worldwide.
