A structured first step into Turkish

Organized as a 10-unit, 10-week course, this self-study book combines concise grammar explanations and examples with dialogues following Kate and Tom as they travel in Istanbul. The lessons focus on foundational language skills and everyday social exchanges, with vocabulary and dialogues recorded by native speakers. Audio is accessed through QR codes at the beginning of each lesson, adding listening practice alongside the written material. The book describes its intended level outcomes using ACTFL, ILR, and CEFR frameworks; these are the author’s stated goals, not a guarantee of proficiency. Its format makes the course’s main components clear: guided grammar, contextual dialogue, vocabulary, and audio practice.
