This course is a fully loaded A1 course to take you from beginner to expressing yourself in a variety of ways, be it for travel, personal interest or communicating with relatives or at work. Turkish is a powerful language. When learned properly and fully, A1 level will go a long way in forming a foundation for your further studies as well as expressing yourself in a broad way. This course will equip you with an excellent understanding of the language and its workings. You will find simple and effective grammar explanations, videos where we break down texts together, hear pronunciation and practice listening with me reading topic focused texts. You will find a variety of exercises that will help you master the language and writing assignments. I offer you:- A REAL A1 course, that actually covers the A1 topics that you find in renowned Turkish textbooks- 3+ hours of engaging video with an excellent Turkish tutor, NOT just reciting vocabulary and the same grammar point over and over again to add more hours to the course.- 400+ vocabulary items that are carefully recycled and used in context. NO spiders, giraffes and elephants in the vocab that you will never use in a hundred years.- Downloadable exercises for each topic that include grammar, reading and writing- Assignments with feedback- Listening exercises with texts, vocabulary and questions Start learning Turkish vowel harmony, case suffixes, personal endings, the continuous tense, possessive noun compounds and much more today. Instead of circling around the same point and making each personal ending a topic, providing not much in terms of content, this course actually offers the full A1 in its entirety. You get value and a course packed full of content, because this is what I would want from a language course myself, as a Turkish teacher and a learner of other languages. This course is the result of years of teaching experience and seeing the progress of students and where they struggle and what they struggle with. I designed it especially to make those points very clear, with actual feedback from my students over many years.Let's take your enthusiasm and turn it into Turkish skills!
