Overview
Over two consecutive Saturdays at IH London, you’ll practise the phrases that matter through role-plays, guided conversations and real travel scenarios.
You’ll leave with a “survival Turkish” toolkit: high-frequency vocabulary, clearer pronunciation, and easy strategies to keep talking even when you can’t remember the exact word.
Why study Turkish at IH London?
Turkish is a fascinating bridge between East and West, spoken by over 80 million people globally. Whether you are drawn to the bustling bazaars of Istanbul, the turquoise coasts of the Aegean, or the growing influence of Türkiye in international business, learning Turkish opens doors to a rich cultural heritage and a unique linguistic landscape.
At International House London, we bring the vibrancy of Türkiye into the classroom. You’ll learn with expert teachers through dynamic, interactive lessons designed to help you master the language’s logic, like its rhythmic vowel harmony, and build real-world communication skills quickly and naturally.
