Clear and Concise Turkish
I have bought many books on Turkish and this is certainly one of the best. It isn't for the raw beginner in my opinion, but if read in conjunction with John Guise's excellent free website (Manisa Turkish) then together they make a powerful learning tool. Some Grammars use an awful lot of complicated English terms which I should have learnt at school, but either didn't, or have now forgotten.
John Guise uses easy language. Where there are difficulties, he explains them and often repeats explanations. Some Grammars assume that just because they have explained something once, then you are going to know it. With me it takes a bit of repetition and I am sure I am not in the minority. He often goes over rules and drops in helpful reminders.
The style of the book, clearly shows the writer has had the same struggles in learning Turkish that we all have, so you feel the tips and advice are really relevant.

This review is from: "The Turkish Language Explained for English Speakers" (Kindle Edition) Author: John Guise - (5.0 out of 5 stars)
It Hit the Spot for me.
The book explains the ins and outs of Turkish grammar and usage, for native English speakers who have a good grasp of English grammar. The author explains, contrasts and gives examples that really do assist in practical terms. On the first occasion that I read the book, I found an answer to a question that nobody had been able to explain to me in 15 years! Whenever I have a question, such as "Why is that so?", "How is that the case?" or I wonder how something is constructed then I have referred to the book and found my answer very quickly.
The cost of the book and the time involved to find the answers to my questions are a fraction of what a private tutor would have cost me and the author seems to totally connect with the mentality of the native English speakers angle.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this book if you want to improve your Turkish grammar.

Number one Best Selling Kindle book..
Today I received an email from John Guise, the webmaster behind a great Turkish resource called Manisa Turkish. John has put together a fantastically helpful website and for anyone who is serious about learning Turkish, this website is a must bookmark site.
John first came to Turkey in the late seventies and so has been at the Turkish language for some time. And now he has collected all of that experience into a new ebook which has quickly risen to the number one best selling Kindle book for the Language Study Listings at Amazon.

Michael von Aichberger - June 10 - 2007 - Knows the obstacles.
I would like to recommend the web site Manisa Turkish which helped me refresh my Turkish and learn a lot of new Turkish words/phrases I never knew existed. The creator himself is not Turkish (British actually) and his first language is English. I think he is able to teach Turkish well, because he knows the obstacles which new learners have to go through, since he was one himself not too long ago.
www.phrasebase.com - Farzinf - Feb. 2007 - Pratik Türkçe'ye çabucak alıştıracak bir site yapmışsınız.
Sitenizi niçin çok beğendiğimi söyleyeceğim:
* Renklendirmeler çok güzel yapılmış. Gayet rahatlıkla kelimeleri ve vurguları birbirinden ayırabiliyorsunuz.
* Hem İngilizceyi hem Türkçeyi sitede çok güzel kullanmışsınız. Anladığım kadarıyla her iki dile de muhteşem düzeyde vakıfsınız.
* Çok fazla gramer ve sıkıcı eğitim müfredatlarını takip etmek yerine adeta ihtiyaca göre şekillenmiş bir web siteniz var. Tekrar teşekkürler, selamlar.
I'm going to say why I liked your website:
* Highlighting is good. It is very easy to distinguish between words and emphasis.
* The site uses very good English and Turkish. Both languages can be easily understood at a high level.
* Rather than just merely following grammar and boring training curriculum, it is tailored to the needs. Thanks again, greetings.

Manisa Turkish is the best site for learning Turkish online. It is nicely explained by an English man who knows his own grammar, and this is essential before you teach the grammar of another language. So many teachers of Turkish have not a good enough grasp of English to get their points across.
iwasinturkey.com - by Shirley Morris, January 13, 2010 - O site Manisa Turkish também é muito bom
Pois oferece bastantes informações sobre a pronúncia (com arquivos MP3), a gramática, o vocabulário (dividido em vários temas), a história e as características principais do idioma, além de frases básicas dividas por temas, listas dos principais elementos gramaticais turcos, informações culturais e muitíssimos links e dicas interessantes para os interessados no assunto.
The Manisa Turkish site is also very good it provides enough information about the pronunciation (with MP3 files), grammar, vocabulary (divided into various topics), history and main features of the language, and basic phrases divided by subject, lists of main grammatical elements and Turkish cultural information, as well as many links and interesting tips for those interested in the subject.
Érick Fiszuk (Brazil) - 16 January 2010 - Pentru gramatica limbii Turce
Acest site cred ca este vital, Manisa Turkish este site-ul unui englez sau englezoaice care a invatat limba Turca. Si a facut acest site si explica si altora ce-a inteles ea ca vorbitor nativ de limba engleza. Este foarte complex si ajuta foarte mult.
For Turkish grammar I think this site is vital, Manisa Turkish is the site of an Englishman who taught English and Turkish. And he made this site for others explaining what he understood as a native speaker of English. It is very complex and helps a lot.
A Romanian Blog - 41 December 2010 - A wonderful website.

GetTheSkill.com (Sweden) - 5 November 2010 - A comment from Slovakia
Pokud jste již v Turecku byli a místní řeč se vám zalíbila natolik, že by jste se jí rádi naučili, můžete se podívat na stránky s názvem Turkish Language, kde v anglickém jazyce naleznete vše potřebné k výuce turečtiny: základní gramatiku, namluvená slovíčka, konverzační slovíčka a dokonce si zde můžete přehrát i tureckou hymnu.
If you have lived in Turkey and like the local language so much that you wish to learn it then have a look at Manisa Turkish (website in the English language). Here you will find everything you need to learn Turkish: basic grammar, vocabulary recordings, conversation and vocabulary. You can even listen to the Turkish national anthem.

Study. Yes, the boring truth about learning a language, like mastering an instrument, is that you have to hide yourself away quite regularly with your exercise book and dictionary and just practice and master the basics. The Internet can be hugely helpful in this area. These are two sites that are highly recommended: livemocha.com and Manisa Turkish - (turkishlanguage.co.uk)

Your website was a Fantastic Discovery for me!
Before I say who I am, let me say that I am ever so thankful to you, John, and the Turkish Language section of Turkishlanguage.co.uk and for having an splendid, good for the eyes, prfectly coloured website. My name is Zaila from Canada and I am in Istanbul Turkey for work. For more than a decade, I was a language instructor myself and when it was time for me to learn a new language, I had to look for the easiest and quickest way of learning Turkish. I checked on Youtube and commercial websites where they charge a fee to read and listen to short essons 20-minute or so long but those lessons couldn't take me where I wanted to go.
About a month into my search for fun, easy-from scratch Turkish learning site, I landed on this perfectly created website, yours. What a wonderful, colorful and really from LESSON ONE type to all the way somewhere website you had put together. I am tremendously grateful to you for helping people like me learn a foreign language, Turkish; one of the hottest languages nowadays.
This is truly college/university worth Turkish Language Curriculum. John said, to paraphrase, "You can get somewhere with 50 words vocabulary" and how true. I am getting ten times that from this website plus indispensable take on Turkish grammar. A serious sigh of relief. I am going to get to the END of this website.
Zaila Jama by Email - Thursday, 4 Aprril 2013 - Thanks for your efforts…

Jade Glenn posted on the Manisa Turkish timeline - 9 April 2013 - Learning Turkish On-Line – Just What Every English Speaker Needs
When we found a website that does not pretend to be a course in Turkish, but rather explains and answers some of the difficulties that the learner of Turkish may encounter we were intrigued to find out more.
We know lots of the British residents in and around Fethiye are trying really hard to learn the language of their adopted country. In fact the money pumped into tuition is possibly a significant boost to the local economy.
So we are pleased to tell you about a wonderful website to support your Turkish learning.
Take a look at the website and we're sure you'll agree that it is exactly what you need to improve your Turkish.
Scroll down to the foot of the home page and read about John Guise, the man who created this fabulous resource, and how he learned Turkish in the first place.
Follow his advice and read Turkish wherever you are: signs when sitting on the dolmuş, the headlines in the Turkish tabloids, printing on packets when in the kitchen.
Turn on the TV to a Turkish channel and let it play as background. Soaps are excellent for picking up everyday language.
And don't give up. John Guise wasn't a linguist but he not only learnt Turkish he went on to create his amazing website.
You can surely get to a stage where you can chat with your neighbours and manage the shopping, which seem to be the two main reasons cited for trying to get to grips with the language.
Fethiye Time Com. on-line - Tuesday, 12 February 2013 - Your Turkish page is fantastic!!
