Learn Turkish with Babbel’s fast, fun lessons

If you’re looking to expand your linguistic horizons, Turkish might be the perfect choice. With over 75 million speakers worldwide, primarily in Turkey and Cyprus, learning Turkish opens the door to a vibrant culture and rich history. Imagine strolling through the bustling streets of Istanbul, chatting with locals, or diving into the works of renowned Turkish authors like Orhan Pamuk and Elif Shafak.

But the benefits of learning Turkish go beyond its rich cultural legacy. Turkey’s role on the world stage is only growing, so proficiency in Turkish can be a game-changer for your career. Whether you’re interested in international business, tourism, or diplomacy, speaking Turkish can set you apart in a competitive job market. Companies are increasingly seeking professionals who can navigate the complexities of Turkish culture and language, making your skills highly sought after.

Learning Turkish is also an intellectually rewarding experience. Its unique grammatical structure and vocabulary, while different from many Western languages, follow logical patterns that will challenge you. Engaging with a new language not only enhances memory and problem-solving skills but also fosters a greater appreciation for the intricacies of language itself.

Thinking about where to get started? Babbel is a great option for exploring your language journey. As if this wasn't good enough, Babbel offers the first lesson free to give you a look at our approach to learning Turkish before you commit.

The benefits of learning Turkish online

While in-person learning will always be a good option, learning Turkish online will provide you with a constantly expanding number of resources. The internet and apps present flexible and accessible options for language enthusiasts. With a plethora of resources available at your fingertips, you can tailor your learning experience to fit your schedule and personal preferences. 

Online platforms, including Babbel, offer interactive lessons, engaging multimedia content, and the ability to practise speaking with native speakers even if not many live in your area. This flexibility allows you to learn at your own pace, making it easier to integrate language study into your daily routine.

Additionally, online learning provides access to a diverse range of materials that cater to different learning styles. Whether you prefer video tutorials, podcasts, or interactive quizzes, you can find resources that resonate with you. This variety not only keeps the learning process enjoyable, but also helps reinforce your understanding of Turkish grammar and vocabulary. Plus, online learning allows you to connect with fellow learners from around the world, creating a supportive community that enriches your language journey.

What Babbel’s Turkish lessons offer

As we’ve already mentioned, you can test a Babbel lesson for free right now. Here are just a few of the features you’ll be introduced to starting with your very first lesson:

• Multiple Levels Of Learning. Have you learned Turkish before, and feel like you don’t need to start at the beginning? You don’t have to start at the beginning! Figure out which level makes the most sense for you. Plus, the first lesson of each level is free, so you can see how Babbel handles more complex topics.

• Useful, Real-World Vocabulary. Babbel’s lessons are designed to teach you the most important phrases first, so you’ll learn how to introduce yourself before learning, say, the names of all the animals. If you’re looking for something in particular, though, you can choose topic-specific lessons in the Words and Sentences section on the app.

• Native Speaker Audio Throughout The App. Each term that is introduced to you with Babbel is recorded by a native speaker of the language, ensuring you’re getting exposed to the correct pronunciations.

• AI-Powered Speech Recognition. Practicing speaking is vital to learning Turkish, which is why from the first lesson Babbel will have you try out words and phrases. That way, you’ll be much more prepared for speaking to other humans.

• Grammar Guidance. Every time you encounter a new grammatical feature, Babbel will clearly explain how it works. Understanding the rules behind the language is an important part of speaking the language.

Tips for learning Turkish with the Babbel app

• Learn A Little Every Day. Babbel’s lessons are meant to take only 5 to 10 minutes, so there’s very little hurdle to learning each and every day (and maintaining your learning streak while you’re at it!).

• Review Regularly. Every time you learn a new word or phrase, it’s also added to the Babbel Review feature. That way, you can keep revisiting what you’ve learned using the technique called “space repetition,” making sure you actually remember it.

• Pay Attention To The Culture Tips. Language and culture are closely related, so look out for Babbel’s culture insights, which are spread throughout the lessons. There are also a few lessons dedicated specifically to exploring Turkish culture.

• Supplement The Self-Study App With Other Resources. The app provides a roadmap for a learner, but we encourage you to find more ways to add Turkish to your everyday life. Whether that’s reading the news in the language, watching Turkish TV shows, or just changing your phone’s language to Turkish, there are countless ways to “immerse” yourself in the language from the comfort of home.
