I recently found this forum, and I think it's great! As an aspiring Turkish learner, I was intrigued by the different methods for learning languages suggested on this board. The L-R method, in particular, stood out as a technique that I would like to try in order to jump start my learning.
It seems, however, that you need very specific materials (like audio books and corresponding texts) available in order to successfully apply this method to language learning. Thus far my searches for such materials in Turkish have been fruitless, but this is probably due to the fact that I am such a beginner in the language that I'm not able to even search for them properly. So... If anybody has tried L-R with Turkish before, I would love to hear about your experience and what resources you used to do it. Any comments or suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Audiobooks are called 'sesli kitap', or sometimes 'mp3 kitap'. There are quite a few of them, including of translated work.
Unfortunately, I haven't L-R'd with Turkish. Sites claiming to sell "Harry Potter ve Felsefe Taşı" as a "Sesli Kitap" (audiobook). I'm not endorsing any of the results, as I've never used any of them, and I don't know the quality of the translation or audiobook, but hopefully this will start you off in the right direction. You can gather words like 'cart' and the name for audiobook categories (sesli kitaplar) from sites like those, which allows you to browse other audiobook categories on various bookstores, and so forth. The Turkish government used to host some audiobooks; a mirror of the list may be of some interest. All of the links are dead, except for the "Yarinin Tarihi - Stephan Zweig" ones, and the audiobooks I've looked up from it don't seem to be purchasable, but at least it shows that there are translated audiobooks out there. Good luck. Edited by Volte on 21 August 2010 at 4:01am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

This is a good website with Turkish podcasts with transcripts in Turkish and English. The material is on the higher intermediate and advanced level. The topics are about experiences of professional people and work related topics.

Here is the link to Audio Book Volunteers website with some Turkish audio books. unfortunately all but one are translations from other languages (being a translator myself, I don't think it's a good idea to learn a language through translations, but it's still better than nothing).
http://www.sanalkitaplar.com/aspkat.asp?kid=80 And here are some audio books from the site of Bilkent University. All of them are by Turkish writers but they are all classics and may contain old words (Turkey is a fast evolving language and a book written 50 years ago will have many words today's Turkish youth wouldn't understand). http://korler.bilkent.edu.tr/archive/SesliKitap/ By the way, the search word for audio books is "sesli kitap" (sounded book) and some sites need you to register for free, so "üye ol" Good luck! 1 person has voted this message useful |
