Using everyday topics to express ideas in Turkish.
Plan your gift intro lesson
Every lesson brings a new discovery.A STARTING POINT FOR YOUR CHILD
Who is this path for?
For children who understand Turkish and want more opportunities to speak and respond.
You can consider the programme with the teacher, taking your child’s age, current Turkish and interests into account.
Read the starting approach in detail
A choice, an interesting detail or an event to describe gives conversation somewhere to begin. Having something to communicate can help turn individual words into a meaningful exchange.
When answers are short
A picture, a choice, a question: small openings into conversation.

Tell the teacher who your child uses Turkish with and in which situations. A picture or a choice between two options can provide a starting point before a more open question.
Develop an everyday idea
Start with an answer; add detail, ask questions and share ideas.

Conversation practice does not require a long, uninterrupted speech. Adding a detail, asking a question in return or explaining a preference can each give a task a clear purpose.
- Complete “I choose this because…”
- Describe what happens before and after in a picture
- Prepare a question about someone else’s idea
Small conversations at home
Bring Turkish into small conversations at the table, on a walk or beside a book.

Choose a brief conversation around a meal, walk or book. Give your child time to finish, and attend to what they want to communicate rather than interrupting every sentence to correct it.
