For families in France
Online Turkish lessons for children in France
France is home to a Turkish community of roughly 1–1.2 million people, and many children grow up hearing French at school and Turkish at home. At Roots & Talks, your child meets a teacher in live 25-minute lessons and builds their Turkish at their own pace.
Make room for Turkish while French grows
It is very common for a child who speaks French all day at school to switch to French at home too. The teacher does not treat this as a problem; they start from what your child understands and create small, enjoyable reasons to speak Turkish.
A lesson time that fits your week
In France, many primary schools have no lessons or only a half day on Wednesdays, which can be a good time for Turkish too. Lessons are online, so there is no commute; you pick whichever of the teacher’s open slots suits your family’s routine.
Treat reading and writing as their own step
A child learning to read in French still needs to meet Turkish letters such as ç, ş, ğ and ı, and the way Turkish is read aloud. The teacher brings in reading and writing according to your child’s age and readiness, without making it feel like a test.
Questions from families abroad
My child understands Turkish but answers in French. Can they join?
Yes, this is one of the most common starting points. Just let us know beforehand; the teacher plans small steps from understanding towards speaking.
Do we see lesson times in French time?
Yes. You see lesson times in your own time zone and choose the slot that suits you from the teacher’s open hours.
What ages can join?
Children aged 4–17 can join. The starting point depends not only on age but on how familiar your child already is with Turkish.
