All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and tests, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Turkish tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Turkish not easy and are there ways to learn it the easy way?
Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Turkish. In reality, you can gain basic Turkish fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand many expressions, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Turkish. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Turkish tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Turkish?
Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Turkish will demand at least 600 hours of study. The required duration of time can differ quite a bit depending on your available level of Turkish or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Turkish out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Turkish classes online.
🤳 Can I pick my own Turkish teacher?
In language learning academies, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, always! The largest selection of tested Turkish tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
