Turkish Lessons in Cork. Learn Turkish
Language Trainers Turkish courses are specifically developed after an initial meeting to discuss learners' needs and aims. Your qualified, native-speaking trainer will provide materials and cover areas of particular interest to you or your company. Individuals, pairs, and small groups are all catered for, and classes tailored to fit the learners. Lessons are arranged for a time that is convenient for you (morning, afternoon, evening; work days or weekends), and can be held at your home or office.
One-to-one General/Business
Turkish Course in Cork
It's no problem if you need to take Turkish lessons specifically for personal use or to help with your career - our trainers mould the lesson plan to your precise needs.
General Turkish courses will cover Survival Turkish, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. A Business course in Turkish will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Turkish.
It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in Turkish, as well as using the telephone. Likewise, a General course can include specific elements that are integral to your needs, for example if you need vocabulary specific to buying property overseas.
Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. General courses cater mostly to those who wish to learn Turkish for short trips to (or through) a country where it is widely spoken; as well as those who wish to pass a specific Turkish exam, people who want to buy a home abroad, and people marrying into a Turkish family.

Info about Cork
The city of Cork and its surrounding area is home to around 300,000 people, and is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland. Often seen as something of a 'rebel' county, native Cork residents have their own distinctive accent, dialect and vocabulary, tending to be higher in pitch than most Irish accents; and often compared with Liverpudlian accents due to the long-standing rate of immigration to Liverpool from Cork.
Home of the Blarney Stone, Cork is a terrific place to pick up a new language, having long stood as a centre for immigration in the region - around 20% of the city's population was born outside Ireland. This cultural diversity means more native speakers of other languages in the region, giving plenty of reasons to study a new tongue.

Info about Turkish
The most commonly spoken Turkic language, Turkish dates back almost 1200 years and is spoken in fairly large communities in a wide range of countries all over the globe, though predominantly in Turkey, Cyprus and Bulgaria. Vocabulary comes from a range of sources, mostly Arabic, Persian and French; though there are also many derivations from Italian, Greek and English. There are around 70 million native speakers of Turkish worldwide.
A difficulty of learning Turkish for English speakers is the '2-dimensional vowel harmony' of the language, though it generally becomes second nature after a period of study. However, Turkish isn't considered a massively difficult language to learn. Like German, words in Turkish can be formed by combining (or 'compounding') two or more words into one; and like English, nouns have no gender.
