Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How can I master Turkish in Istanbul and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study using apps, you have 4 primary possibilities for learning Turkish interactively in Istanbul. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your 2nd option can be local private language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can find a private Turkish tutor in Istanbul. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Istanbul and online Turkish tutors.

🎟 Is it expensive to learn Turkish and what does a lesson with a tutor of Turkish cost?

For university and college courses you can estimate Turkish course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of fifty or so class hours each semester. Language centers and individual Turkish tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Turkish tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 15 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, experience and specialization. Real student rating average for Turkish lessons on Preply is 4.94 out of 5 stars.

📚 What are the requirements for Turkish language skill level to sign up for a course?

When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level 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 add-ons they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

🔥 Why is Turkish so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Turkish. Realistically, you can gain basic Turkish fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand everyday words, speak on some level, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable 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 level practitioners.

🤷 How long does it take to master 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 take at least 600 hours of dedication. The required duration of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Turkish or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Turkish out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Turkish classes online.

🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Turkish coach?

In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, of course! The largest selection of tested Turkish tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

Colleges as a rule structure classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. 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.
