**
Start learning Turkish in Istanbul**
Turkish
is a member of the Turkic branch of the Altaic
family of languages.
Nearly 150 million people spanning from
Western China to Eastern Romania speak the Turkic
languages. Modern Ottoman Turkish spoken by nearly
70 million people is the official language of Turkey.
It has heavy borrowings from Persian and Arabic
languages, as well as some European influences.
However, in recent history Turkish has been purging
from itself the Arabic and Persian words, replacing
them with truer Turkish words, or with western
counterparts.
In
1928, the Turkish government replaced the Turkish
Arabic alphabet with a Turkish Latin alphabet. This
action has helped aligned and continues to push
Turkey towards the west. With such a rich language,
culture, and people (over 150 million people
speaking some form of it), Turkish certainly is an
important language to learn.

Our
Language Teaching Center is the foremost Turkish
Language School in Turkey and in the World. We have
been teaching Turkish to foreigners since 1988. We
have started our education life as an institution of
Ankara University . As a private language center, was
founded by former Turkish teachers and directors of
Ankara University’s institution in 1999. Our
Language Center is accredited by the Ministry of
National Education. We also teach English, German,
French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Arabic at our
Institute.
We
are located in Taksim area, the cultural, trade
entertainment center of Ýstanbul. It’s very easy to
arrive at our language center from all areas of
Istanbul. Classes have maximum of 14 students. There
are 500 students from all over the world with our
Turkish students that study foreign languages (English,
German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic&Greek)
at our Institute every month. The classrooms have high-qualified
modern educational equipments. Social and cultural
activities play an important role at our institution,
in addition to our contemporary education. Throughout
these social activities, we ensure that the students
become acquainted with Istanbul, make new friends and
practise their knowledge of the Turkish language
outside the classroom.
Our
students have the opportunity to meet each other
during our introduction parties, trips and farewell
evenings. In summer, these parties take place on a
boat tour of the Bosphorus.. We hold sightseeing tours
throughout every course period during the year.These
tours include many famous places, such as Anadolu
Kavagi, Eyüp Mosque, Kariye Museum and Camlica Hill
on both European and Asian sides of Istanbul. We
recommend all students should see these places. The
transport fees are paid by us. In the months of April
and May, we have picnics in Belgrad Forest. In the
months of July and August ( and also in June and
September, weather permitting) we go swimming to Sile,
Kilyos, Riva, Agva, which are all on the boundary of
Istanbul, and also the Islands of the Marmara Sea. Our
students have many opportunities to become involved in
our sporting activities which take place near our
language school. We hold tournaments in football.
There
are six levels in Turkish teaching
1) Elementary Turkish 1
2) Elementary Turkish 2
3) Intermediate Turkish 1
4) Intermediate Turkish 2
5) Upper-Intermediate Turkish 1
6) Upper-Intermediate Turkish 2
According
to this program, when a student completes one level
successfully, she/he automatically gains the right to
continue to the next level. A student who completes
these six levels successfully can continue to Advanced
Turkish if the student so requires, where the student
improves and learns more detailed language skills. In
our courses, the students who complete Elementary,
Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate levels achieve
certificates approved by the Ministry of National
Education. |
