lessons ever, quicker—and
cheaper—than

to Turkey go
more
smoothly.
Print
out these pages, study

days you'll know more than 100
Turkish words and short phrases. You'll
be surprised how useful they'll
be every day during your
travels.

The phonetic
pronunciations in the
right-hand column of each page
are based on the sounds of Standard
American English. See my Turkish
Pronunciation Guide for more.
(Note:
it's difficult to show the special
Turkish letters (such as the soft-g
and undotted 'i') reliably in web
browsers so you won't see the special
letters below. Use the pronunciation
guides in the right-hand column for
correct pronunciation.
