I was introduced to a great website tonight at a friends house.  They had been using this site a bit and found it very helpful.  When I got home, and after I got my son tucked into bed, I too had a look and think it is really a great site.  The site is called Turkish Tutor and seems to have been developed at UCLA, but the cool think about it is that it uses a long staniding Turkish television program, Bizimkiler, as its content.  I would suggest watching the short tutorial found on the home page of the site, but the basic gist is that you watch short scenes from the show (30 seconds or so) that allow you to explore different aspects of Turkish language and culture.   There are twelve different lessons each with three - four scenes to watch.  Topics include things like: welcoming, greetings, food, ordering food, food, asking for the time, health, leave taking, etc.  Each lesson has a glossary of terms, an exercise and one very cool feature - the ability to listen to the scene slowed down.  It actually has three choices of speeds to listen: normal, slow and really slow, so you can catch every aspect of the verbal exchanges taking place.  I think it could be a great set of lessons to go through for the beginner and a great site to visit to pick and choses a few lessons for more advanced learners.  Check it out today.  I have also added a link to the site on the Listen Now! page.
