Every lesson brings a new discovery.A STARTING POINT FOR YOUR CHILD
Who is this path for?
For children who are new to Turkish and ready to meet first words through familiar play and pictures.
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
Starting without Turkish does not mean leaving behind your child’s interests or what they can express in other languages. Getting to know them helps the teacher find an age-appropriate beginning.
What can you share with the teacher?
We begin by getting to know your child. Favourite topics open the way to a first lesson.
Explore this section in detail
Describe the languages used at home, any previous contact with Turkish and the subjects your child enjoys. Knowing that Turkish is entirely new is useful information too.
First communication tasks
Choose a picture, find an object, say hello. Join in through small steps.
