About Roots & Talks

Make room for Turkish in your child's life.

We give fun, interactive online Turkish lessons to children ages 4–17 in families living abroad. Roots & Talks was founded in 2021.

Two words in our name

  • Roots

    The bond with family, grandparents and their stories.

  • Talks

    A child speaking Turkish in their own voice, with joy.

Our mission and vision

Your child is at the heart of the lesson.

  • Our mission

    To offer an enjoyable, effective and accessible learning experience so that children living abroad learn Turkish with love and strengthen their connection to their roots.

  • Our vision

    To help Turkish children living abroad know and protect their own identity, build strong bridges between cultures and grow up as confident global citizens.

  • Our approach

    Every lesson is designed to capture a child’s interest. Children learn at their own pace and around their interests, discovering Turkey’s cultural heritage along with the language.
