DC Internationals is proud to offer Turkish I- Beginner- a ten week intensive non-credit course is designed to teach Beginning Turkish through immersion, fun and humor.
Times and location:
Turkish I- Beginner— Meets once per week on Wednesday from 6:00-7:30 PM
First day of Class: September 15, 2010
Location: United Methodist Church Classrooms at 1920 G Street, NW, Washington DC
Background Requirements:
No previous foreign language experience
is required, although a knowledge of another Middle Eastern language will be helpful. By the end of the semester, you can expect to have basic reading, writing, and speaking skills.
Academic Goals:
This course starts by gradually teaching the rudiments of Turkish grammar. Each lesson will include grammar, a dialogue or reading passage, with vocabulary, grammatical explanations, and exercises. Each class will begin by going over the exercises from the previous lesson, thereby reviewing that lesson before proceeding with the next one.
In addition to the material covered in the lessons, which will be passed out at each class meeting, there will be classroom conversation. The students will be expected to purchase the course materials. Students will be encouraged to listen to Turkish radio and television stations available on the internet. Each week, one student will make a presentation to the class, either a website or some other item of his/her own choosing. The class will take a Mid-Term around week six or seven, depending upon our progress.
While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in present, and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.

Students are responsible to purchase the following books at the suggested locations.
