Turkish is a very interesting and fun language to learn, but it is not without its problems. For a start, Turkish is from a different language family, so many words in Turkic languages will not have the similarities that they do in Romance languages. The current Turkish alphabet is based on the (standard) Latin alphabet with symbols borrowed from various alphabets across Europe such as German, Swedish and Albanian. There are 29 characters in the Turkish alphabet, 21 consonants and 8 vowels. The Turkish alphabet was standardized in 1928 as part of reforms to the Turkish language. In addition, some characters that look similar to English letters may be pronounced differently e.g. c and ı.
There are also advantages to learning Turkish, because many of the characters in the alphabet are Latin characters, furthermore, in Turkish is a phonetic language, so once you know how every character is pronounced, you will be able to work out easily how a word is pronounced. Another advantage to learning Turkish language is that it is a very systematic language. Yes, there are lots of rules, but helpfully there are almost no exceptions, so once you know the rule, you can assume it applies universally.
All of these resources are free to use and customizable depending on a learner's level and ability. These resources are easy-to-use and are compatible with all modern browsers. You can really make these Turkish language resources your own.
