This class was very enjoyable. I learned a lot and feel like the content was very well presented.
Info was taught in a very easy, accessible manner, there was a nice camaraderie about the class. The content covers a lot, so you learn a lot.
[would you recommend this course to others ? why ?] Yes, but I think it is for serious learners rather than people who want to learn general phrases and vocab for travel.
Brigit
The course was useful and well structured. Overall, the instructor, the book and the course material were a good combination and a positive force in teaching students the language.
I liked the book and the instructor and found them a good combination for this course. The instructor was very familiar with the book and the material and that was noticeable.
[would you recommend this course to others ? why ?] Yes, I most probably would. The reason why is because considering how difficult it is to learn a language to the true meaning of the word outside of a country that speaks that particular language, the class did a reasonably good job familiarizing the students not only with the language but also with the cultural aspects of Turkey and as someone who has lived in Turkey years ago, I could see many positives and necessary points that one can learn from this course about the Turkish and culture and customs which help with understanding the language.

Why Learn Turkish?
The idea of learning Turkish is strange for most American learners; but that rapidly changes to a sense of excitement as soon as the career opportunities and adventure of Turkey are discovered. Its central connections to Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East make doing business in Turkey a necessity.
Since pre-historic times, Turkey has been the vital bridge between Europe and the Middle East. Its mighty Ottoman Empire consolidated much of Eastern Europe and the Middle East into one great civilization until the early 20th century. The flavor of Turkish culture is richly cosmopolitan, a sophisticated mix of ancient traditions in a contemporary Geist.
For Americans, Turkey’s liberal and intellectual climate bridging East and West, traditional and modern, is a comforting environment. Learning Turkish gives access to many new opportunities for business, scientific and technological research, and for scholarship and journalism. Currently, students in Turkey are learning English at a record rate, while few Americans learn Turkish: to offset that imbalance of skill and opportunity, there is great need for Americans to meet the creative challenge of learning Turkish.
