Ratings and reviews

This book is a great resource for those people who are trying to learn Turkish from e-books and other online resources. You can read as well as listen to the same content, thus learning the spellings as well as the pronunciation at the same time. Besides, there are sections on grammar and a dictionary of words used in the book. The voice over as well as the background music are also pleasant. A well thought of concept and superbly executed. Good quality product, it shows the author's passion towards his work. It saved me a lot of money and time learning from an offline class, but proved to be equally or even more effective. Thank You Turiku Publishing and Google Books
