The series is well thought out, builds on itself, and is the best format we have found for study of the language. Zachary Moore, English Language Teacher, North Carolina, USA: I have found these books to be a tremendous help in learning Turkish. The easy readers provide simple texts in an enjoyable context and the grammar and vocabulary books include enough practice to get to know the material without becoming tedious. Moreover, the books are paced far better than any other Turkish learning resources I have yet encountered. Marta Arroyal, Database Director, Madrid, SPAIN: I have found them very useful, because the way of learning is very easy and as you have to repeat using similar sentences, it is easy to remember not only the vocabulary but also the grammar. The exercises are very completed too. And you can find a little dictionary at the end and some keys in order to check about the answers. I strongly recommend those books. Martina Dentilli, Italian Language Teacher,Venecia, ITALY: ''A very good starting point for those who wish to speak Turkish by touching many different subjects. A complete set that makes sure Turkish is fun, pleasant and productive.'' Danielle Jakubiak, English Language Teacher, Prince Edward Island, CANADA: Vocabulary and Grammar books - ?ok h?zl? bir ?grenci! The guides give an intensive but enjoyable introduction to Turkish grammar and vocabulary. The grammar guide's repetitive drills help cement the student's understanding of the structures underlying every Turkish sentence without becoming monotonous. Colin Daly, Engineering Student, Victoria, CANADA: These books are absolutely invaluable to anyone planning to learn Turkish as a foriegn language. They are written based on extensive understanding of the fundamental principles of language learning. The Easy-Readers are written so that you can pick them up for the pleasure of reading, not just to study. The stories are simple yet inticing, and the biographies contain cultural and historical information that will motivate you to learn more Turkish. A learner of Turkish as a foreign language should not be left without these wonderful learning aids!
