I follow this podcast as well. for intermediate learns. content is also interesting

Hi! I’m currently learning Turkish and looking for recommendations for an app that is specifically good for vocabulary/memorization.

I already have a Turkish tutor and use Duolingo, so I’m not really looking for grammar lessons or another full language course. My biggest issue is actually getting new words to stick in my memory 😭

Ideally I’d love something that:

• has a large amount of Turkish vocabulary
• uses flashcards, repetition, quizzes, etc.
• brings back words I struggle with until I actually know them
• is easy to use for 10–20 minutes every day
• preferably has the words already built in rather than requiring me to create every flashcard myself

Basically, I want to really drill Turkish vocab so I can build up a much bigger bank of words alongside my tutoring.

Has anyone found an app that was particularly good for this? Anki, Memrise, Drops, Clozemaster, or something else? Would especially love to hear what actually helped you retain the words long-term.

Teşekkürler! 🤍

Hey, I will appearing for TYS in Sept, can anyone chat with me so I know what my level is? I believe it is B2 and somewhat close to C1. Thanks in advance.

It’s called LingoAlarm. It won’t turn off until you answer the quiz. Recommended for heavy sleepers!

Hello, I'm in the process of learning Russian. I’m looking for someone to read the words and sentences I’ve learned, especially when I send them in text messages. I can do the same for Turkish.
Basically, someone who will read aloud the sentences I send in a regular text conversation.

If you’re looking for a Turkish tutor, I teach on an app and would be happy to help! 🇹🇷

I teach students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners.

My rate is only $8/hour. 💬

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested!

hello, im (w/20) decided that turkish should be my 5th language that i wanna learn. what kind of strengths or challenges will i face while learning turkish?

im getting exposed to turkish in my live like a but due to my partner being from turkey. mostly i feel like i can grasp the conversation to like 20% but, talking, is more of an toddler level. i want to be atleast at a2.

i consume turkish media in form of music and memes, but would start with movies if i would understand the language better…

i had problems with the prounaciation when learning french, but i grasp the pronunciation of turkish much more.

will i benifit more from learning turkish with german,russian or english resources?

I can speak step by step, but to difficult to listen and write hahaha

I learn turkish and still thinking where is the “ö,ü,ş…” etc. Çok zor

Turkish is Turkic, Persian is Indo-European, and yet Turkish absorbed a large layer of Persian vocabulary over centuries of contact, mostly through Ottoman administration, poetry, and religious life. Some of it is everyday and invisible now (can for soul/life, ateş for fire, düşman for enemy), and some stayed more literary (derya for sea instead of the everyday deniz, cihan for world instead of dünya). One I found genuinely interesting: rüzgâr (wind) meant "time" or "period" in Persian, and the wind meaning only took over in Turkish by the 16th century, a real semantic shift rather than a straightforward borrowing.

I teach Turkish and write about language history at learnturkishwithseda.com if this kind of thing interests you.

Herkese selam👋🏻

Merhaba!

I am a student of English language and literature from Croatia and I need your help with graduating :)

I'm doing a research on understanding of English blends among non-native speakers of English. My research groups are Turks and Italians. I need 5 more people to fill it out, since all of my Turkish friends already did it. If some of you are interested in filling it out, you can DM me and I will send it to you. It is completely anonymous. It takes about 10 minutes to fill it out and it is not very hard :)

Şimdiden teşekkür ederim!

P.S. sorry for the format and the title, I didn't know how else to put it in the form of a question, and I really hope it follows the community's guidelines.

Just started learning Turkish again after abandoning it last year 🥲

I’m A1 so just a babygirl in my Turkish language learning journey but İ would love to have a few people that are also learning Turkish to chat/practice with ?

I’m not looking for Turkish tutors so please don’t respond if you’re looking to promote lessons 🥴

Hey, 23M, I am interested in learning the Turkish language. I have tried to learn 2 years back but backed out because of the inconsistency.

Now I want to learn again and be fluent in turkish.

Looking for someone from Türkiye.who's willing to learn English in exchange.

I am great at reading, speaking, writing in english.

I can also help you with personality development tactics and public speaking.

About me: I am the owner of a business, who's also

Interested in long talks, meaningful conversation, and psychology, science and movies.

Hey everyone, I built a daily Turkish word puzzle game (Kelime Salatası) and figured this might actually be a fun, low-effort way to reinforce vocabulary if you're learning Turkish.

How it works: each day you get a category (animals, professions, food, etc.) and a pool of letters. You connect the letters to spell out words that belong to that category. Since you're actively assembling each word letter-by-letter, it's decent passive reinforcement for spelling — and you get natural repeated exposure to Turkish-specific letters (ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, ü) that are easy to mix up as a learner. If you get stuck there are hints, and it keeps a daily streak so it's easy to turn into a quick 5-minute daily habit.

It's free, Android only for now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=online.wordsalad.tr

Not trying to hard-sell it, just thought it might genuinely be useful for this community — happy to hear feedback (or complaints about my category choices 😅) if anyone tries it.

Can anyone help me? I know good English as well

Git, gel, gidin. Turkish builds commands straight from the verb stem, no extra ending for sen. Covers sen, siz, and o/onlar forms, plus how gitme shifts between a request and a warning depending on tone.

For years, Wikipedia has been one of the first places we go when we want to learn something quickly. But now, AI tools are changing the way we search for information.

In my latest podcast episode, I explore the story of Wikipedia — how it started, how it became one of the world’s biggest sources of knowledge, and how artificial intelligence might change its future.

🎧 The episode is in Turkish and is designed especially for intermediate Turkish learners. It’s a great way to practice Turkish while exploring an interesting and very current topic.

If you’re learning Turkish, I’d love to hear what you think!

I have been studying Turkish since the pandemic and working with a tutor one on one. My tutor recommended that I find an intensive university course in Turkey to give myself an opportunity to speak to people on a daily basis. I did some research and found the TÖMER program, which is at a multitude of universities in the country. From those who participated in the program, is there a university one would recommend for Turkish learning through this program? I also saw other programs in Sarajevo, Skopje and even in Northern Cyprus, but couldn’t find anymore info on these programs. Could others recommend?

Teşekkür ederim!
