Merhaba!

I wish to join all of you as I begin my study of Turkish in earnest after several years of casual flirting with its beautiful grammar.

I will be focusing on the spoken language as I will be visiting Turkey late in 2014 and will therefore try to avoid (for now) the archaisms and constructions only used in the written language. I will therefore listen to native materials from the beginning.

I am currently A0 and wish to get to a high-A2/low-B2 by the end of the year. Quite difficult, but I hope visiting the country will act as a motivational carrot...

My log can be found here:
Mithradates' Log

All the Best!

Mutlu yeni yıllar!

I just noticed that I hadn't postet anything here yet. Sorry!
My log is here.

I had started learning Turkish some years before but had to abandon it after some months. Now I'll try again. I aim for a B1. I want to read a Turkish book at the end of the year.

You know, after TY (when I finish it...) I was planning to study these books. It's good to know you recommend them.

The Turkish keyboard layout is so confusing! The best I can manage is to use a site
like Turkish Type It, where I can type normally
until I need a Turkish letter.

I updated my log, and included some sample dialogues from Assimil and FSI. I'm pleased
with both courses, and would definitely recommend that people check out FSI. It uses a
lot of variation drills and substitution drills, which help me internalize a language
much more than other methods.
