	Hi everyone. I've got a friend who leaves in Turkey. He wants to ımprove his English but I don't know which method to advice him as I'm not from Turkey. İn French we've got assimil method which is very efficient (I learn turkish this way) but I can't advice it to him as he doesn't speak french. If there is someone who knows a good English method for turkish speakers out there it would be great. Thanks in advance. 1 person has voted this message useful

	There are Turkish Assimil books. Assimil offers a turkish based textbook for German, English and French. http://en.assimil.com/methodes/kolay-ingilizce On the other side Assimil isn't cheap. I like Assimil, but I also need much more grammar explanations. An additional grammar book might be helpful, but that depends on the learner. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Thank you very much for your answer. İf it isn't cheap I can offer it that is not a problem. For grammar explanations I think he has other sources like English normal lessons. 1 person has voted this message useful

	I understand from your message that English will be his first foreign language. Although I like and use Assimil a lot, I cant recommend a Turkish based assimil for English. His mother tongue, say, his primary mental decoder isn't a European language, not even from Indo-European gross family. He should first learn English grammar with Turkish explanations, get convinced about English syntax, and then can continue with worldwide methods like Oxford Headway etc. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Actually, he already has some basis of English, and his primary language is kurdish which is a indo-european language, so I don't think it will be a problem for him to use assimil. 1 person has voted this message useful
