I have absolutely no knowledge of the Turkish language. Despite that, Turkey has such an interesting culture and language that I am very excited to look into. My goal in this program is to create a solid basic foundation of the Turkish language, one in which I will be able to navigate a trip to Turkey comfortably without being too overwhelmed. I also want to be able to comfortably speak with a Turkish pen pal.
I want to separate my learning program into 2 parts: the first focusing on the fundamental basics of Turkish language, and the second on immersion into the language and a deeper understanding of it. My tasks start out focusing on the first part of my program, but slowly delve more and more into the second part as the program and tasks progress.
The biggest tools I can use to achieve my tasks are my language partner, the textbook she provided, the textbook I have borrowed from the Global Studio (Turkish Grammar: For Foreign Students), other books available in the Global Studio, this great website for learning the basics of Turkish (https://utos.yasar.edu.tr/portal), Turkish to English dictionary websites (http://www.turkishdictionary.net/ and http://tureng.com/en/turkish-english/), and the Turkish music available on Youtube.
