I don't know whether you have any knowledge of French but I know that when/if I start learning Turkish, I will be heading straight for Assimil's Le Turc Sans Peine (I may use the German version Türkisch Ohne Mühe).

I mentioned this in another thread a few days ago from someone asking about Turkish resources, but I'll repeat it.

The Teach Yourself Turkish Complete course (by Pollard & Pollard) covers pretty much the same things as the Assimil course, so if you feel uncomfortable with French, the Teach Yourself course will get you to the same level using English as the teaching language.

I feel the Assimil course covers significantly more vocabulary. Not amazingly
more but the difference is there. Both are excellent courses and work well in
parallel.

If your French is up to snuff, sure, they're both good resources. But surely you'd agree that not knowing French and trying to use Assimil Turkish would be senseless. That was my point.
