Bilingual Visual Dictionary : English-Turkish

[Mushtaq]

Just got my first book, trying to learn Turkish.

Click here to buy it from Amazon

Saw this book on Azamon, looked pretty good, so ordered it cost only £13.99, the shop price is £19.99

It's very good way to learn names of things, as everything is clearly marked, I think it's a great way to learn.

The book covers categories like;

Human Body, Architecture, Sports, Music, Plants, Transportation....

Here are a couple of pages from the book.

I have a few more books in the way, will try to review them as I get some time.

If you want your own copy, buy it here

i thought you were Turkish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lynn-Keith]

At least I am not the only one. I also assumed Mushtaq was Turkish when we met in Altinkum. I am sure Mushtaq will confirm I was a little embarrassed to say the least!!!
Lynn.

 

[Mushtaq]

Everyone thinks I'm Turkish

Really embarrassing a lot of the time, because they all start speaking in Turkish and I have to confess that I only know a few words [:I]

That's why I thought I better learn a bit more then a few words.

I'm from Pakistan, found quite a few similarities in the culture and people, so I feel at home in Turkey

[eileen]

dont worrie mustaq i have same problem they think im turkish as well,

still learning the launge but dont use it much they all talk eng anyway

 

[kadin]

Oh so your from Pakistan Mushtaq? I could see you had some foreign blood in your veins but I didn't think you were turkish because you came across as too English to be Turkish so work that one out lol

My friend Waseem is flying over from Pakistan in the next couple of weeks to do a 4 month IT stint in London and I will no doubt be graced with his presence at some point lol He says he does a nice biryani - ooh I can't wait [][]

Just to make you more jealous. a good indian friend of mine who lives 10 mins away does a mean curry and is able to cook all dishes plus more depending on the spice market here.
Last week he did me an excellent chicken korma.

[starman]

thankyou for that russandjan, when you end up living here full time you will appreciate anything you can get. The curry was for my wife as she cant handle hot curries as for me there isnt one dish that has broke me out in a sweat yet (although do tend to sweat the next day[:I]).
This week its Chole Masale with Paneer Makhani but still has no way of making naan bread.
