Fantastic brilliantly written university level textbook. This book introduces an extended family. Next the circle is expanded to the neighborhood, to their lives, studies, jobs, hobbies, etc. It is all very charmingly laid out. Cute drawings and photos. There are also audio files that can be accessed through the YEE website. This is definitely not a book to teach oneself the Turkish language. It must be used in conjunction with a teacher due to the fact that while it teaches a ton of grammar, the rules of new grammar lessons are not in the book. Yunus Emre Institute offers excellent online classes. The first semester is totally free of charge. After only 8 months of intense study, I have learned a tremendous amount of Turkish vocabulary and grammar. The Yunus Emre online teachers are simply superb....imagine our twice a week class given at 6pm Eastern Time required that the teachers teach from 1am to 3am!
