Learn Turkish! It's great fun! Even if you learn just a bit, it will enhance your trip immeasurably.

Start with my free TTP Turkish Language Guide and The 100 Most Useful Turkish Words™. To continue, use these:

1. The Ectaco Language Teacher
This electronic dictionary and translator is a translator gizmo on steroids. Only a little bigger than a cassette tape, it packs 450,000 words, 1000 phrases and 200 idioms, as well as calculators, converters,...even a game! (Ectaco also has Turkish language-learning software for Pocket PCs, Palm OS PDAs and personal computers.) More... 

2. iTRAVL NTL Talking 2-Way Language Communicator
This incredible electronic device translates speech instantly: you speak into it in English, and it repeats it in Turkish! It helps you learn Turkish super-quickly, but in fact you needn't learn Turkish at all. Just say what you want in English and it will say the Turkish for you!

In addition to instant spoken translation, it includes 14,000 travel-related phrases (including quickly-accessible emergency phrases), a full bilingual electronic dictionary, Fodor's travel guide, Language Teacher, and language-learning games. It can even store your MP3 music files for entertainment while you travel. It's actually quite incredible. More...

3. Transparent Language
Forget any cassette-tape language-learning course you've ever struggled with. This Transparent Language approach is utterly different, so much better, and an awful lot of fun! Games, fun quizzes, automatic-translation tools.... Real dialogues with native speakers (the lady has a surprisingly "bedroom" voice) and computer voice/ pattern recognition means you speak to your computer and it'll tell you how good your pronunciation is! You get the benefits of one-on-one native-speaker coaching without the high cost. The playful approach and advanced speech analysis have you speaking Turkish in no time for a seriously low price. The Transparent Language approach is perfect for learning "travel" Turkish. Unbeatable value! More...

4. Kwikpoint Card
Who needs words when you have pictures?
This laminated, passport size, multi-panel folding card lets you communicate your needs with over 600 colorful, universally-recognized drawings. No heat in your hotel room? Want your steak rare? Just point to the picture and show it to the other person. Pretty smart!

5. Rosetta Stone Language Software  
With over 3500 real-life images and phrases in 92 lessons, the Turkish Level I course provides up to 250 hours of mastery instruction in Listening Comprehension, Reading, Speaking and Writing. If you're serious about learning Turkish for work, study, romance, etc, this is the way. Systematic structure teaches vocabulary and grammar naturally, without lists and drills. Previews, exercises and tests accompany every lesson with automated tutorials. You can get the course on CD-ROM or—much cheaper—online, accessible from any computer. More...

6. Necla Bal's Online Turkish
Ms Bal sells a worthwhile Turkish language course online. Check out the sample lessons and the free Turkish Phrasebook.

If you're interested in language the other way around—teaching English to Turks—you can even learn TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) skills online!
