Feel overwhelmed by Turkish? 😡😤
You are not alone, many Turkish learners feel lost at some point. Do any of these sound familiar?
- Ordering food or shopping becomes stressful because you are not confident enough in Turkish. People treat you like a tourist, even though you have lived in Türkiye for months.
- You find it hard to have basic conversations in Turkish with your partner, friends, or coworkers. You usually switch to English after a few words.
- You're confused by Turkish grammar and don't know where to start. The endless suffixes are overwhelming, and progress feels out of reach.
- You only know basic words from apps like Duolingo, but in real life, people use idioms and expressions that you don't understand.
That's not your fault.
Most Turkish learning apps skip over grammar or present it in an overly complex way.
Free courses give the illusion you are learning new words, but you can't actually use them in real life.
That's why we created a unique method to learn Turkish, combining the necessary grammar with real-life dialogues and exercises.
And even better: each lesson teaches you a special idiom along with practical vocabulary—a good way to connect with locals and quickly take your Turkish to the next level!
With more than 50 lessons, you will be able to quickly build your confidence and start speaking Turkish from day one.
Learn real-life Turkish without skipping the grammar
Traditional Turkish Courses
- Skip grammar entirely or present it in an overly complex way
- Focus on impractical vocabulary that you'll rarely use
- Teach textbook Turkish instead of authentic, everyday language
- Neglect the cultural context and forget idioms & local expressions
TurkishFluent's Approach
- Clear, concise grammar explanations with real-life context
- Interactive exercises to easily memorize grammar rules & vocabulary
- Practice modules to quickly build your speaking, listening, writing & reading skills
- Learn a common idiom in each lesson to sound like a local
We've been struggling with Turkish too, that's why we created TurkishFluent
I'm Nicolas, a French expat who's been living in Türkiye for 5 years.
Like you, I struggled to learn real, everyday Turkish. That's why I teamed up with Sibel to create something different—something that actually works.
Selam! I'm Sibel, a Turkish teacher from Istanbul.
With Nicolas, we created a unique and efficient method that blends my teaching experience with his journey as an expat.
It's built on real-life dialogues and practical lessons designed to help you speak Turkish with confidence, fast.

As a French expat living in Istanbul, I love how TurkishFluent dives deep into grammar with explanations that make sense! I also love the idioms you learn in each lesson, like 'fransız kaldım,' which is both fun and incredibly useful!

I started learning Turkish on my own in London before moving to Turkey, and TurkishFluent has been my best investment! The real-life dialogues and interactive exercises make learning enjoyable and help you progress quickly. Now, I feel confident not only speaking with locals but also understanding them.

As a Frenchy often traveling to Turkey, TurkishFluent has been a lifesaver! The pronunciation practice and exercises have really boosted my confidence in speaking with locals. I love how interactive and fun the lessons are!
Billy Batia
Paris (from France)
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!
