Turkish for Foreigners courses are designed to provide international students living in Turkey with the basic language skills needed in everyday life situations.
Tailored for students with no (or little) Turkish background, TURK101 courses offer a solid foundation in Turkish, starting from the very basics. Students will learn how to introduce themselves, and use different grammatical structures such as adjectives and nouns; and create dialogues.
Students who successfully complete TURK101 will advance to TURK102. TURK102 is intended to teach students verbs, imperatives and basic tense structures including present continuous tense, simple past tense, and past continuous tense. The course will also equip students with the basic skills needed to start and carry on a conversation at shopping mall, a restaurant or a hospital.

The Turkic languages are spoken over a large geographical area in Europe and Asia. It is spoken in the Azeri, the Türkmen, the Tartar, the Uzbek, the Baskurti, the Nogay, the Kyrgyz, the Kazakh, the Yakuti, the Cuvas and other dialects. Turkish belongs to the Altaic branch of the Ural-Altaic family of languages, and thus is closely related to Mongolian, Manchu-Tungus, Korean, and perhaps Japanese. Some scholars have maintained that these resemblances are not fundamental, but rather the result of borrowings, however comparative Altaistic studies in recent years demonstrate that the languages we have listed all go back to a common Ur-Altaic.
