Introduction to Turkish

Master the Turkish language

Speak Turkish like you've always wanted to If you want to be in demand from businesses, government organisations and NGOs, then Turkish is a fantastic language to add to your CV. The country occupies a vitally important strategic position and with a very young, politically and socially active young population, it economy is rocketing and its society rapidly evolving. Turkey is an exciting country on the cusp of change, and those with the relevant language skills could find themselves in demand.

Unlock a new world A whopping 75 million people speak Turkish as a first language and another 15 million speak it as a second. If you learn it, you also get a head-start on around thirty other Turkic languages in this fascinating region, so who knows where your language journey will ultimately take you!

Become a global citizen Whether you love holidaying in Antalya, exploring the vibrancy of Istanbul or seeing the country's vast open-air museum of historic artefacts and ruins, the language deepens your experience, allows you to make new friends and shows great willing on your part.

Real-world conversations in Turkish

Classroom learning can be sociable and fun, but it's extremely hard to fit in a fixed evening class in a busy schedule! And what's more, if your class progress is a little slower than you'd like to go, you'll have to wait for everyone to catch up. Conversational practice can be useful, but again, you're tied to the scheduled time and both need to be at a level where you can speak confidently.
