We found a very good book the other day whilst we were shopping in Dalaman town centre; this book has been prepared to help foreign travellers be understood when speaking some basic Turkish, making it easy to communicate with the Turkish people

The guide contains daily situations that you may encounter to teach you to speak real Turkish in real situations.

A fantastic small book to carry with you. The guide is written by Mehmet AKTAR.

You can obtain this book from any good book store at a very modest price.
