One-to-one General/Business

Turkish Course in Edinburgh

It doesn't matter if you want to learn Turkish for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.

A General course in Turkish will grant you 'Survival Turkish' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Turkish business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.


Courses are, however, tailor-made - you cover in your lessons what you need to cover. Most students taking a Business Turkish course will gain telephone and email expertise, as well as general conversation skills. 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. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, Turkish language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular Turkish exam.

Info about Edinburgh


Edinburgh is something of a city of extremes. While the population is relatively old for the national average, the constant influx of the transient student population (around 100,000 out of a city of just under half a million people) makes up for the relative lack of resident youth. The city has a plethora of history, yet is one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe.

For most of the year the city is like any other historic Scottish city - mostly peaceful, with friendly residents, beautiful architecture, all overshadowed by a medieval castle. But that all goes to pot during the months from July to September, as the Edinburgh Festival runs its course, attracting many thousands of people to Scotland's capital.

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.
