Today I recieved an email asking where Turkish cartoons could be found online. I came across a few sites, but this one seems to be the best. http://www.cizgifilmizlerim.com/ Have you found other places to watch Turkish television online? Share them in the comment section and I'll add them to the site.
I am always looking for new resources for Turkish and today came across the mother load of e-books for free online. They are mostly the classics and a lot of Agatha Christi (Is she considered "the classics" yet?). All are as well only in epub format which works for the Barnes and Noble Nook, the iPad and other e-readers as well I guess. (But they won't work for the Kindle readers from Amazon). Anyway, you can find them at: http://www.ekitapbankasi.com/If you know of other great resources, be sure and email them so we can share them with all of the readers at TLL.
I was working on the Arabic Resource Page at The Everyday Language Learner when I came across another great resource for Turkish language learners. It is called Culture Talk and this is what the site has to say about what they do:"CultureTalk features video clips of interviews and discussions with people from many different countries and of many different ages and walks of life. Some interviews and discussions are in English; more are in the language(s) of the countries involved. Translations and/or transcripts are given for all non-English video clips. Topics include family, food, education, religious and cultural customs, work, art, sport, travel, and more."I've added a link to Culture Now Turkish at the Listen Now! page of this site. You can stop by and listen now by clicking Culture Now Turkish.
I have been excited by the response to getting Sustaining translated into Turkish and now am excited to anounce that I have formatted a new version that puts the guide in parallel text format. This means that each page has Turkish on the left and the English on the right. You can read more about Parallel Texts and how to use them at my latest EDLL post, Language Learning Tip: Use Parallel Texts.I would love to hear your thoughts on the guide, on the translation and on how Sustaining has encouraged you on the language learning journey. Be sure and share this post and Sustaining (which is FREE) with all of your friends who are learning Turkish too.

I am super excited to announce that my free ebook, The Everyday Language Learner's Guide to Sustaining has been translated into Turkish. A friend of mine and reader of The Everyday Language Learner blog took it upon herself to translate it and I have gotten it all formated and put together and uploaded to the web today. It is a pdf ebook and can be read simply by clicking on the link below. I am working at figuring out how to create a side by side Turkish/English version, but for now you will have to read them seperately. I wrote the guide nine months ago as a resource for those struggling with motivation on the language learning journey. Thousands have read the English version and now I am excited that it might also encourage Turks who have yet to master English. This is all part of Project I-586 and I hope to have all of my guides translated into Turkish this year and into a few other languages as well.I would like to next have a native Turkish speaker record the ebook to put on the podcast for your Turkish listening pleasure. If any of you would like to have a Turkish friend make the recording, please send me an email. I'd love to have your help. As well, feel free to share the Turkish version with your Turkish friends via Facebook, email or Twitter. I'd love to see it spread and help as many people as possible.And here it is: Turkish Version English Version
