A challenge but great when you get it right
The first unit of this course was a barrage of new words. I had to play it 4 times before I could do it all. The format is to give short phrases, then have you repeat them back. All the new words are broken down into syllables and pronounced slowly initially to make sure you get the pronunciation correct. This is a big plus. You are then asked to say the phrases over and over in different order so you have to mentally switch between them fairly rapidly. You are only given a minimum time to say them. This is quite a challenge but does ensure that you memorise them properly. In the end it becomes quite addictive. The phrases collectively make up a conversation
The subsequent units always start off with a refresher on the previous units, so a lot of the words are familiar, and there are fewer new words and phrases to learn. This makes subsequent units much easier, so I generally only had to do them twice.
I am very confident I could learn all the language given in the units if I carry on with the whole course. As I am only doing this for a holiday I will probably stop after units 6 to 10. I am also doing BBC get by in Turkish which has a lot more vocabulary that you would need on holiday, and Collins 40 minute Turkish, which also has a lot of vocabulary, but no conversation at all.
I would definitely recommend this course. I did not like the fact it assumes you are an American male talking to a young Turkish female, since I am in fact a middle aged English female. Saying "I am American" loads of times really grated. The Collins 40 minute Turkish tells you how to say "I am English" and also has the most important phrase you need on holiday which is "where are the toilets please?" Phonetically this is "tuvalet nerreday lutfan".
Enjoy!
