does anyone knows somone who can teach turkish lessons in cairo as private lessons,for short time with resonable price from me thx

Hope you find someone in Cairo, but in the meantime have you looked at the Turkish language primer on the TurkishLiving forum? It's very good and you can pick up a lot.

Here is the link http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/...play.php?f=126

Have you checked craigslist? Post an ad and see what you get back ...you just never know and it is free. Turkish must be difficult or I think it would be to American ears.

Is Turkish hard to pick up? I'm just wondering how long it would take to become at least slightly conversational.

I haven't used wiki sources much myself, but I noticed there's some introduction to Turkish words and phrases at this link:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Turkish/Lesson_Two_-_I_am...

I think it may be a series of lessons, although I couldn't seem to find lesson one.

I think it would be really neat if they had an intensive language school that could provide you with Turkish classes for a few days, just to get your feet wet!

For me it would take more than a few days! I once got very interested in learning Catalan because I think it's so pretty as a language and I was spending time there. I know some Spanish but it turned out to be quite hard!

thx,, i cheked teh sites and its really intresting,, and i found private teacher,, ths again
