First Turkish Reader for Beginners: Bilingual for Speakers of English: Volume 1 (Graded Turkish Readers)

Really a 4.7. I like it overall, I'm learning from it. My only beef with it is that the English translation is in such light print it can be hard to read.

I love the approach that this book takes. It slowly builds up vocabulary and grammar very effectively. I have other resources which teach grammar, great references, but this book puts those grammars into practice. After the first few units I find yourself not looking at the side-by-side English but actually reading the Turkish and getting instance satisfaction from being correct when I peek at the English. Lot of white space for making notes. Best purchase I've ever made in my pursuit of the Turkish language.

This is just a quick comment. I love the book. It is really for the beginner--and gradually introduces new grammatical forms. The subject matter deals with day to day living--not travel. It has a dual language dictionary in the back. It has no grammar information, so the learner still needs a grammar book. It was listed in Amazon as "Volume 1". My question is: When is Volume 2 coming out. This is a GOOD purchase.

Perfect for beginners with translations and lots of helpful vocab and examples of usage
