Summary: The best Turkish course on the market
Comment: I've been learning Turkish for three years now, and am reasonably fluent. In that time I've encountered many language courses and Teach Yourself Turkish is the best I've come across. It's also one of the best in the Teach Yourself series.
It provides a good grounding in the basic structure of the language and key vocab in the first 8 chapters. It explains things clearly without getting lost in complex grammatical terms. With a bit of determination you could probably get through this section in 6-8 weeks by yourself in a little spare time. Combine this with a few stock tourist phrases from a guidebook and Turkey is your oyster.
Where it does lose it's way a little bit is in the second half of the course, where it tries to cover a little too much material for the space it has. Because of this the explanation can get muddier, and the subject matter is presented a little bit too densely for easy self study.
While my Turkish is now well beyond the level of this course, it was an important part in helping me get to this level.

Summary: Simplifies a complex language!
Comment: Turkish is one of the most confusing languages for English speakers to learn in terms of grammar and vocabulary. Teach Yourself Turkish really does a good job of simplifying the grammar and vocab and really makes it accessible to English speakers.
I found this course very helpful for my recent 5 week trip to Turkey. I was able to get my basic needs met and understand most of what was said to me. Don't expect to sit back, listen to the tapes and become fluent, however. You should really spend about 30 minutes a day at it and a week on each chapter.
The only problem I had with the course was that the tapes were too short. Also, there were no oral drills on them. With more taped dialogues and oral drills this course would easily hit 5 stars!
Customer Rating:
Summary: On content and presentation...
Comment: I was looking for a book that had in depth information about how the language works, as well as one with good examples. With the exception that the first edition does not have the tapes the book refers to (or the phonetic description of how to pronounce the Turkish words) the book is very applicable to one that expects to travel to Turkey or to another Turkish speaking state in a time frame of 3-6 months.
