turkish words: A Lesson in Turkish
Wherever I travel, I always try to pick up a little bit of the local language and happily I found Turkish easy to pick up and remember.

Try this link for a brilliant video with a whole heap of useful Turkish phrases. Fantastic!

Here's a few examples:
Hello = Merhaba (merharba)
Good Morning = Gunaydin (goo nay dun)
Goodbye (person leaving) = Allaha Ismarladik (ala ushmall a duk)
Goodbye (person staying behind) = Gule Gule (gooleh gooleh)
Please = Lutfen (lewtfen)
Thank you = Tesekkur ederim (t shek a ed erin)
What is this? = Bu ne? (Boo nay)

My phoenetic spelling isn't great - check out the link for more helpful and accurate phrases!

You could also try Before You Know It who offer free downloadable software for just about every language in the World and use a flashcard system to teach languages. BYKI Lite is free - be warned they will keep sending you mail to try to get you to upgrade but it's harmless junk and well worth it for the free software.
