A very warm WELCOME to all of you in the Turkish Language class. Yesterday we just learned basic sentences which was not actual starting of learning. We should have to learn Turkish alphabets first. So, let's get started:
Vowels: a, e, ı, i, o, ö, u, ü
Consonants: b, c, ç, d, f, g, ğ, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, ş, t, v, y, z
while q, w, x are excluded
