Turkish Tea Time

Summary: Join us at Turkish Tea Time (turkishteatime.com) as we chat about the Turkish language, its grammar, and how it's spoken in every day life. We're Turkish learners, Turkish teachers, and Turkish people ourselves - so we understand what it takes to get a grip on this amazing language. Published daily, each lesson revolves around a dialog that focuses on a single language point. There's something here for every Turkish learner: the difficulty level of each day's lesson rotates between four levels, from absolute beginner to extremely advanced. To follow along each day with annotated dialogs, vocabulary, audio, and quizzes, join us over at turkishteatime.com.
