TURKISH LEARNING PATHS
Turkish for beginners
From familiar words to sentences of their own.
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 recognise some Turkish words and are preparing to build sentences of their own.
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
Familiar words and family conversations may make sense while answering or explaining independently takes more support. Beginning work can start by noticing what your child can already do.
What do they understand and want to say?
Start with familiar words and everyday examples.
Explore this section in detail
Everyday examples tell the teacher more than “a little Turkish.” Following a family conversation, making a request or retelling a story in another language each offers a different clue about the starting point.
Short tasks with a clear purpose
Familiar words, new situations: short activities offer opportunities to use Turkish.
Explore this section in detail
A beginning task can invite familiar words into a new context. Age and interests help shape the subject, while current language experience helps determine useful support.
- Add a small detail to a request
- Explore who, what and where in a picture
- Take turns asking questions in an everyday exchange
Where reading and writing fit
Consider speaking, reading and writing separately to choose a focus that suits your child.

A child new to reading Turkish may already speak comfortably. Discuss conversation and literacy separately, and talk with the teacher about the areas you would like to focus on.
