Product Description

This one-day course is specifically written for the holiday maker for whom a short holiday does not justify a complete language course. It comes on one 75-minute CD and teaches only basic, core words, as few as the holiday maker can get away with, and a few useful phrases, which will be supported by body language. It comes with an 8-page booklet which simply lists the words and phrases taught on the recording - no pronunciation guide, no grammar summary, just a written record of what has been learned.

Customer Reviews

Sounds Like a Sketch From The Comedy Club1
If you are seriously looking to master the Turkish language, then this CD may not be for you. The contents sound like a sketch from the comedy club and having referred to Turkish friends, I am also informed that the pronunciations are also incorrect.

I opted for Turkish Berlitz in 60 Minutes, which so far sounds much more reassuring.

Does what it says on the cover4
If you are looking for a well-designed, progressive and entertaining way to learn 50 words of Turkish for a holiday, this product is great.
Of course, many of the jokes on the CD are stupid. Of course, you will not be able to debate profoundly philosophical issues in a cafe in Taksim with your level of Turkish. Of course, the "One-Day Turkish" title seems a bit optimistic, unless you have the attention span of Einstein but who cares?
The point is that if you make an effort and go through the CD in a few days, you will actually master 50 new words and phrases and you will probably manage to communicate a lot better in Turkish.
