fun! Even if you learn just

immeasurably.

Language Guide and The
100 Most Useful Turkish Words™.

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...

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...

smart!
