TurkishFluent is by far the best app I have tried to learn Turkish, much better than the "big" ones like Duolingo, Babbel, etc. The thing I like most is that it offers practical, real-life conversations that help me feel confident speaking with locals. I also love the idiom section, which is incredibly useful for impressing my friends!

Nicolas
Co-founder & French expat in Türkiye
Merhaba! I moved to Türkiye 5 years ago and quickly realized that learning Turkish wasn't as straightforward as I hoped. Like many expats, I struggled to find practical, real-world Turkish lessons that would help me navigate daily life, make friends, and feel at home.
That frustration became the inspiration for TurkishFluent. I teamed up with Sibel to build the app I wish I had when I first arrived, one that focuses on the Turkish you actually need, not just textbook grammar.
Sibel
Co-founder & Professional Turkish Teacher
Selam! I'm a professional Turkish teacher from Istanbul with years of experience helping expats master Turkish. I’ve seen how traditional methods often fail to give learners what they truly need: confidence in real conversations and everyday situations.
Together with Nicolas, we're building TurkishFluent to bridge that gap. Our goal is simple: help you speak Turkish confidently, understand native speakers, and truly enjoy your life in Türkiye.
