Your 1st Dialogue (konuşma)

 

This is where you will translate a full conversation from Turkish into English.  We will do this in two parts.

We can almost hear you say, their mad, but believe me if you have been following us, you really do have enough to make this very easy.  We will know when you are finished as were sure we will hear you pat yourself on the back at just how well you have done.

Take it a step further and go shopping, the best way for you to learn is to use the Turkish you know and listen to other people’s pronunciation.  Ask questions, if people have the time they always seem happily to help with a few explanations.

OK lets get started with a brief explanation of the sentence (the only part you will see in English)

Jane is learning Turkish also.  She will go to the shop and buy some food.
