Hi, until now, i havent thought hard about this before. But i think the first step must be syllabicating. For arabic there are some hareke/vowel marks for showing beginning and ending for every arabic syllables. But for turkish there is no vowelmarks. so you must learn how to syllabicating. Example: hello=merhaba --- mer-ha-ba how are you = nasilsiniz --- na-sıl-sı-nız room = oda ---- o-da and then learn how to pronunciation every syllable. there are 8 vowel letters a e ı i o ö u ü and 21 voiceless consonants b c ç d f g ğ h j k l m n p r s ş t v y z and you can practise with thiss way : ba be bı bi bo bö bu bü ab eb ıb ib ob öb ub üb next voiceless ca ce cı ci co cö cu cü ac ec ıc ic oc öc uc üc and the others.. vesselam....

as for me, you can start to learn funny ways for you...if you likes to reading book, if so you read a turkish books or if you'd like watch turkish series...etc ...

Merhaba Lulu Smile, As for me, when i started learning Spanish, i tried to learn as many phrases and words as i could which i am still doing. This helps you a lot with getting acquainted with the language at the beginning. It is better to see as many clauses as you can though you cannot keep all of them in mind. Seeing them over and over will help you learn. Later on you can complete your grammar with the help of a grammar book. Here is what i've found upon a quick search. I don't know their content. So you will decide if they are necessary for you or not. http://www.turkishclass.com/ http://www.onlineturkish.com/ http://www.learningpracticalturkish.com/faq--step-by-step.html http://www.ingilish.com/learn-turkish.htm Here are some dictionaries: www.zargan.com www.tureng.com www.tdk.gov.tr http://www.seslisozluk.com/ I hope this helps.

Like all languages, it is best to start off simply. When we use "to be" senteces in Turkish, or many other langauges, the verb "to be" is omitted. For example, oda bos, = the room (is) empty oda bos, degil = the room is not empty bos, oda = an empty room oda bos, ve ev kalabalik = the room is empty but the house is crowded. these are simple sentences, but you can convey a lot of information. I hope this helps
