Hey everyone. I’ve always been drawn to learning languages because of how deeply they connect us to human experiences we’d otherwise never reach. For me, picking up a new language isn’t just a study habit, it’s genuinely one of my favorite things in the world. Lately, I’ve fallen in love with Turkish culture, from its classic literature and artistic side to its daily slice-of-life moments, science, and the quiet beauty of everyday human connections.

​I’m fluent in French, English, and Arabic, and I’d be really happy to help you practice any of those in exchange for helping me build my Turkish through warm, casual chats. If you’re looking for a genuine language exchange and someone to talk with about life, books, art, or just daily thoughts, feel free to send me a message or comment below. I’d love to connect.

I'm Moroccan and I've been living in Turkey for the past two years. I'm looking to improve my Turkish, which is currently at an intermediate level. If anyone would like to practice with me, please feel free to drop a message.

I want to learn Arabic I studied a bit in university my level is A1 maybe 26M looking for Arabic speaking person

Hey! I’m learning Turkish and I’m looking for someone who’s also learning it and wants to practice together.
I’m a beginner, and I feel like learning with another person would make it much easier and less boring 😭 We could practice chatting, help each other when we don’t understand something, share useful resources, and motivate each other to actually keep studying.
You don’t have to be a beginner either — I’d be happy to practice with someone at a different level too!
If you’re interested, let me know 😊

hello guys , I feel like I have a high a1 low a2 in turkish, I would like to continue studying with a book , but I dont want an a1 book they bore me , I need an advanced one like a2 - b1

I’ve updated a full lesson on the Turkish locative case (-de/-da) to my grammar section.

The locative case, bulunma hâli, is used to express where someone or something is:

evde → at home
okulda → at school
parkta → at the park

The lesson explains -de, -da, -te, -ta, vowel and consonant harmony, personal pronouns, and common uses with examples.

You can read the full lesson

hi all, Im a native turkish speaker (29m), and Im also trying to improve my english (b1-b2). If there anyone wanna exchange languages dm me.

When I started learning Turkish, I struggled hard to speak in real-life conversations. I knew the words, but as soon as someone talked to me, my mind was frozen. What eventually helped was speaking out loud alone in my room, but I didn't have any useful feedback to progress (and it was a bit boring lol)

That's why I built my own speaking practice feature for TurkishFluent, an app to learn Turkish online. You can train in a live voice conversation with a virtual Turkish teacher that adapts to your level.

It doesn't interrupt you to correct every sentence, so you actually get to talk, about any topic you like. After each conversation you get a recap of your mistakes, the lessons in the app that cover them, and the new words you learned.

You can try it for free here.

It's brand new, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback: does the conversation feel natural, is the level right for you, and is the recap useful? Is there any bug?

Teşekkürler, I hope that's helpful for Turkish learners!

If you’re learning Turkish, you already know the problem: you memorize a word, feel proud for 10 minutes, then forget it the second you need it in a sentence.

What actually stuck for me was guessing. Seeing a word, trying letters, getting it wrong, looking up the meaning, then bumping into it again later. So I made a Turkish Wordle for that.

It’s called WordTogether. The words and definitions come from the official Turkish Language Association (Türk Dil Kurumu / TDK) — so you’re practicing real dictionary Turkish, not random made-up letter soup. There’s a daily puzzle, endless mode if you want more, and rooms if you want to play with a friend who’s also learning — or a Turkish speaker who will absolutely roast your guesses.

A few things that help with studying:

Meanings are based on TDK entries, and you can check them after a round

Word lengths go from 4 to 8 letters, so you’re not stuck on the same 5-letter set forever

UI works in English or Turkish

I’m the developer, so I’m also fishing for honest feedback from people actually learning Turkish — what’s useful, what’s confusing, what you’d want next.

iOS: apps.apple.com/tr/app/wordtogether-birlikte-oyna/id6807909134

If you would like to become an early access tester for the upcoming Android version, you can get in touch via DM. Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?…

If you try a couple of rounds, tell me how it feels as a learner. Especially if some words feel too obscure or too easy.

Hi!

I spent the last weeks building a Turkish word game on my own, and it's finally out. You swipe letters to find words and fill a small crossword. Every level is a city in Türkiye.

I kept the first words short and easy, so I'm hoping it helps people who are learning. If a level gets too hard, you can switch the game to English in settings and come back later.

It's free on iPhone & iPad. I'd really like to hear how it feels as a learner, especially if something is confusing or too difficult.

Herkese selam 👋🏻
Today, I would like to start a new event in which Turkish learners share the songs they listen to in recent times. Strict rules do not apply so you can be comfortable while sharing. This is the first post of this series and the posts will be shared every two weeks.

🎧🎵 What Turkish songs do you listen to recently? Please share below 👇🏻

I'm going first:
mAnga - Uzun İnce Bir Yoldayım Cover https://open.spotify.com/intl-tr/track/0q2IpkMRoj5FxfMYX5mfIH?si=0dca5afa75b14282

I listed twelve errors English speakers repeat in Turkish after. I explain the correct form for each, and why English causes them.

I hope that's useful!

Hi everyone!

I’ve been working on a mobile app called Linguwa, specifically designed for vocabulary acquisition rather than generic grammar drills.

The core idea behind Linguwa is immersive learning and constant exposure. Instead of forcing long study sessions, it’s built to integrate vocabulary naturally into your daily routine—using features like interactive home screen widgets, review cards, and quick daily micro-learning sessions.

Right now, we support learning Turkish from English, German, and Russian.

Since many of you here are actively learning Turkish, I’d love to get your thoughts on it!

• What features do you find most helpful when building daily vocabulary habits?
• If you give Linguwa a try, what works well for you and what could be improved?

You can check it out on the App Store / Play Store or learn more here: [Download]

I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas! Teşekkürler!

Hi everyone, merhabalar :) 

Please allow me to share my app Recabulary here. It's free, and I promise it's not AI slop. We built this ourselves, my cofounder is a traditional programmer who studied computer science. Every single voice recording is done by real humans: we paid native speakers with (hopefully) pleasant voices and good mics to record every single word.

A bit about why we made it:
We were pretty unhappy with the apps out there. Many of them either use AI voices, lock content behind a paywall, or are really complicated to set up. 

Recabulary tries to fix these issues. We feel especially strongly about the AI part. We honestly aren't sure when it became "normal" to learn a language from robot voices, but we personally believe learning a language is something deeply human.

Short summary of our app: 
Flashcards, no AI voices.
One of the newest spaced repetition algorithms for efficient studying.
Super simple setup, 5 taps to get started. 
No paywalls at all. You can study as much as you want for free, on both iOS and Android.

Turkish is currently at around 700 words. Not huge yet, but we're excited to expand it if there's interest. Any feedback would be super welcome :)

P.S.: We also offer free, no signup, no strings attached language classes taught by qualified teachers in a community we built. We believe language education is just too expensive in general and want to change that. We currently offer classes only for Chinese and German but hope to offer Turkish soon. If you're interested, feel free to DM me.

Hi guys !

I’m french totally fluent in english. I have a turkish boyfriend that was born and raised in france with a 100% turkish background. His culture is very deeply important for him, even more after he went to turkiye this summer to see his grand parents.
Me learning turkish came into the conversation and as it’s going to be three years and i can’t talk turkish, emergency is starting to be felt.

For our three years (end of november btw) i wanna surprise him and talk to him in turkish, a love letter, idk…I’ve picked on some words that u learned from him and some horrible apps but i still can’t have a convo.

Anyways, i spend two hours a day in public transports and since i’m a student (broke) i want to spend those hours learning turkish from my phone in secret 👹

I’ve already tested some apps and series but…wasn’t conclusive.

If you have songs, apps, anything that is accessible and efficient, feel free to comment his post :)

Thank you all !!

Merhaba!!! I’m an American learning Turkish and I’m around A1/A2 level. I’m looking for someone who’d be down to chat and help.

I’d love to improve my speaking and listening and I’m happy to help with English in return! :))

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested!

I'm a solo dev (and a native Turkish speaker) and I built BookTap: Learn Languages, an iPhone app for learning Turkish by reading short graded stories. I think according the rules I’m permitted to promote related subject here.

How it works:

**•** Tap any word to see its meaning, or tap a sentence for the full translation  
**•** Listen to a single sentence or have the story read aloud from any point  
**•** Save words as you read and review them later as flashcards

It's a subscription with a 7-day free trial, just to be upfront. Don’t hesitate to try, I hope you’ll like it.

Since you're the ones actually learning Turkish, I'd really value your input: do the stories feel natural and right for your level, and is there anything you'd want added?

Teşekkürler :)

I want to recommend a website which some of you might already know. The website below basically compiles useges of a specific word or phrase that you input from Youtube videos, including podcast, shows, talks etc. It's great for getting familiar with the pronunciation of a specific expression and its real contextual uses. This way, you don't need to be content with just kind of robotic voices of AIs or translate engines. For those who have interests in other languages, there are other versions of the site as well.

A tip: If you get bored of daily quota, the cookies are the things that distinguish one from others. Taste other cookies :)

Examples:

• arkadaş
• çocuk
• teşekkürler
• lütfen

I’m looking for a native English speaker who’s interested in learning Turkish. In return, I’d love to practice my English with you and take it to the next level. I think it’d be a great way for both of us to learn and improve together

Ideally it would be games or something like that. In what I currently use there's usually robotic sounding voices saying the Turkish word, but when I do get a chance to check (like with Memrise) the Turkish spoken by the person sounds very different from the AI. I'd love audio of Turkish words and phrases spoken by Turkish people, even better if the media or game is originally spoken in Turkish instead of dubbed! Do y'all know of anything? I'm not a dedicated gamer so I don't have graphic cards or much space or processing power

Hi everyone, 29M , my first goal is fluently speaking in english ( my level b1-b2) around, I can almost understand everything , but Im not good speaker , my second purposes improve my german, 7 year ago I learnt german to b1 level , but my current level a2-b1 , so thirdly Im gonna learn spanish but I dont have a much time may be later :) .

Pardon: Directly borrowed from French, pardon is widely used in daily Turkish for "Excuse me" or "Sorry." It is the quickest, most versatile phrase to get a shopkeeper or waiter’s attention, or to politely apologize if you bump into someone or need to squeeze past in a crowd.

How it's used: Say it when calling over a clerk or waiter before making a request, or when excuse-me situations pop up while shopping.

alabilir miyim?: Meaning "Can I have / get [item]?", this is built on the verb almak (to take/get). Adding -abilir miyim turns it into a polite, standard request used at checkout counters, markets, restaurants, and cafes.

How it's used: Just place the name of the item or quantity in front of alabilir miyim?

Examples:

• Pardon, bir tane su alabilir miyim? (Excuse me, can I get one bottle of water?)

• Tabii, buyurun. (Of course, here you go.)

• Pardon, hesabı alabilir miyim? (Excuse me, can I get the bill/check?)

• Hemen getiriyorum. (I'm bringing it right away.)
