Hello everyone, glad to see you on my channel.
Today I’ll tell you about how I learned Turkish and give you a few practical advice about how to learn it faster and not forget it.
I started learning Turkish when I met my husband. I took courses and chose them based on the teaching program in Moscow. I really liked the courses http://www.de-fa.ru, they seduced me because they were taught using the textbooks Tömer ‘Tomer’ (there were textbooks Hitit I, II; an audio course was also given). Teaching was divided into 3 levels. Entry level for beginners (Hitit I, II). I passed Hitit I, but, unfortunately, I didn’t pass Hitit II, because summer came, our group was disbanded and another one was recruited. In addition, I have already left for Turkey to get married. But I study Turkish all the time and I can say that a foreign language is a thing that goes away if you don’t study it, so you always need to practice.
What else can I recommend from Turkish language textbooks? The manual by P. I. Kuznetsov “Textbook of the Turkish Language”, this publication consists of two parts, it even comes with an audio course. There's a lot in it useful exercises, texts. The only thing I can note is that the textbook was probably compiled in Soviet times, and it contains a lot of vocabulary such as “comrade” and everything that follows from it. Therefore, from the point of view of the interestingness of the texts and their lexical composition, the manual is a little outdated.
Also, when I went to the course, I immediately bought myself the “Big Turkish-Russian and Russian-Turkish Dictionary.” I’ll explain why I bought a two-in-one dictionary: I was already planning to move and, accordingly, I absolutely didn’t want to bring two such dictionaries. But teachers and those who study languages recommend buying two separate dictionaries, since in a publication like mine, of course, there is a truncated version.
Now in life situations helps a lot Google Translate. Naturally, he will not translate the entire sentence, but he will be able to translate some words, for example, while going to the store.
Another tip on how to make it easier to memorize grammar and systematize knowledge is to start a notebook. I started one and write down all the grammar rules that I study in it. Why is this convenient? For example, you forgot a topic. You don’t need to look for where the textbook is and run to re-read the entire chapter in it; you have records of examples, rules; you repeated them, remembered them - and everything is fine.
It is also very important to learn words. I took a notebook and divided the pages in half with a vertical line. In the left column I wrote down words and even phrases in Turkish, in the right column - their translation into Russian. You can read all this on the subway while you go to work. Of course, looking for something in such entries is not very convenient, because this is not a dictionary compiled in alphabetical order, but it is quite suitable for reading on transport.
Regarding how best to learn words in general. I discovered this thing for myself: I remember them best when I first write them down, then pronounce them and then write down the translation. For example, I write the word bilmek, pronounce it and write the translation - to know. At the same time, my visual, auditory and mechanical memory works - I remember how to spell a word, and sometimes this really helped me out. Friends, this is really very good technique, and I can recommend it to you.
