Learning Turkish Intermediate

"As we are in the 21st century, Turkey shows developments in various areas which are clearly visible. Overall, these developments are in the areas of culture, social structure and economy which in particular is of great importance. Moreover, the number of foreigners living in Turkey has increased considerably in the last few years and continues to grow at an increasing rate. This is mainly due to the government policies promoting foreign investment in Turkey, as well as foreign trade which in turn results in an increasing number of expatriates and businessmen living in Turkey, (in many cases) along with their families.

Whether foreigners such as yourself come to Turkey as a holiday destination to spend a vacation or to work (as an expatriate, businessman, etc.), they feel the need to understand, comprehend and speak Turkish.

Hence, I decided to write this book to be able to facilitate communication between foreigners and Turkish people and to be able to present general characteristics and some examples of our social culture and customs. I hope this book will help you out both in terms of learning Turkish grammar and the Turkish language and our customs. Good luck!"
