Turkish is one of the languages widely spread across the globe around 200 million people speaking it. With this book you can make this number bigger by at least one point! And most importantly, you can do it in a fun and really efficient way. If theres something we know for sure after years in the language learning world, it is that many students choose or are provided with the wrong means of study, with professors giving them boring textbooks full of rules theyll never learn or need in a real-world situation; while others may overwhelm them with reading material that only serves to make them feel uncomfortable and doubtful of their own skills and level as a Turkish learner. Our goal with this book is to allow you, the reader, to encounter useful, entertaining conversations that adapt very well into dozens of real-life situations that you can and certainly will encounter in the Turkish-speaking world, giving you a chance to fend for yourself when you come across them! Vocabulary is crucial to learning any new language, and the conversations in this book will guarantee you pick up plenty of it and watch how it is applied to real life.

What this book is about and how it works: This book will ensure you practice your conversational skills in Turkish through the use of one hundred and five examples of conversations, written in both Turkish and English to allow you to fully understand whats going on in each and every one of them. Each new chapter is an entirely new, fresh conversation between two people of an everyday situation you may tackle sooner or later. Youll be able to observe how to handle yourself when it comes to checking in at a hotel, asking for directions, meeting an old friend or ordering food at a restaurant, among many others. If you want to ensure proper understanding of the story, we recommend you read the story in both languages and follow the narrative in a way that gives you the chance to cross-reference whats going on in Turkish by checking out the story in clear, concise English. How was this book created? The dialogues youll find inside is the result of collaboration between both English and Turkish native speakers. Once written in natural English the stories were translated into Turkish and we feel it crucial to give a brief explanation of how it was done.

Since we want you to sound natural, we avoided a word for word translation, so you may come across situations when - Translations are shorter or longer than the original; - Some translations are descriptive. For example, theres no way in Turkish to say a red-eye flight in two words; - One and the same word is translated differently in different sentences. For this reason, it might be a good idea to learn whole phrases sometimes, rather than separate words. So, wake up your inner linguist, analyze, make your own discoveries and get amazed at how different languages work! Now you know what it is the book will provide you what are the best ways to use it?
