Have you ever taken a language class for a few years and never gotten to the point, where you could speak it fluently? We know the feeling!

In NYC Turkish Club, we know that the best way to learn a language is by speaking it and thus, we specialize in building speaking skills and teach you how to speak Turkish. 

We created our own language teaching approach based on the communicative approach. Communicative language teaching emphasizes all four skills – reading, writing, speaking, and listening – although there is a special focus on speaking and listening skills. Hence, our Turkish classes are designed with a special emphasis on improving your speaking, listening, and pronunciation skills.

Most language teachers think in their native language when they make their lesson plans and teach their classes accordingly.

On the contrary, our teaching methodology and lesson plans are specifically tailored to the thinking pattern of an English speaking audience with lots of empathy. Complex constructions are broken down into simple pieces and explanations are to the point. Students never feel lost in class and they set the pace rather than the teacher. You can read more about our teaching methodology here.

Sitting long hours in class or cramming for a long time outside of class will not necessarily make you learn any language faster. In contrast, it becomes unproductive.  Furthermore, you may start feeling weary and end up losing your motivation and interest after a while. Unfortunately, many people begin their language education with enthusiasm, but then they start feeling burned out and quit learning the language before they get fluent.

Your time is important to us and we aim to achieve a high level of productivity both in and outside of our classroom by using scientific techniques. We teach you scientific learning and memory improvement techniques in your first class and then, we encourage you to use them effectively throughout the semester.

Furthermore, our carefully prepared lesson plans and in and after-class activities and assignments are all designed with having productivity and making good use of your time in mind.

We achieve more in less time without rushing. Students’ overall performance set the class pace.

We also aim to create a fun and positive environment in our Turkish classes, where you can learn a lot while having fun and not realize how time flies. Our classes never get boring because of the interactive teaching style of your teacher.

Given the expensive language class fees in NYC, we want to make our Turkish classes accessible to every New Yorker. Thus, we made learning Turkish cheaper than learning any other foreign language in NYC.

We currently charge only USD 260 for most of our online classes and this fee covers all the expenses, including the class materials.

Most of our classes have five to seven students, even though the cap is 10. Amazingly, our students get to participate as much as being in a private class because of the dynamic and efficient teaching style of their teacher. 

We continuously monitor our students’ individual progress through in-class observation and interaction as well as with the help of a curriculum-based monitoring test at the end of each semester.

We also benchmark their individual performances in an attempt to identify the opportunities for improvement. This process does not only help our students improve their performances, but it also enables us to raise the quality standards of our Turkish language education.
