This is an excellent little book with a succinct and interesting summary of Turkish grammar (no exercises, just a complete review of the basics). It has an extremely useful bi-lingual dictionary of common everyday words and terms (some of which I found more easily here as opposed to in a larger Turkish dictionary). The last half of the book consists of a Turkish Phrasebook divided into topics of interest for quick reference, such as Professions, Family Matters, Directions, Sightseeing, Weather, etc.
The Turkish- English/ English-Turkish Dictionary works for my Turkish library aide. He is building vocabulary and gaining confidence in speaking to the students at the circulation desk. Thanks.
Phrasebook, though, leaves out the most obvious words and contains many that no one would want to look up.Testing it on students would have avoided this pitfall.
This is mis-named. It's much less useful than a dictionary; it is mostly a phrase-book. The pronunciation guide is useful.
This book is good if you're looking for a travel translator but not good if you're looking for an every day dictionary/translator.I bought it to help with everyday conversation tips and only found it useful for mealtime conversation- otherwise, it's not great. But, it would be the perfect translator for a trip to Turkey as a tourist. Great little phrases, great descriptions and very clearly laid out.
