Vay allah! What a great book!

Turkish people have laughed in astonishment at the phrases and words that I've used after learning them from this book. There are some mistakes in the text but these are easy to notice (mostly typos). What I like most is the the way the book concentrates on every day conversation. I love all the expressions of astonishment and especially the space-fillers used by Turks when they're thinking about what they're going to say next. I've not seen those described anywhere else! I thought the speakers on the tape were talking too quickly too soon but now I've seen some Turkish tv and understood a fair amount of what they were saying I've changed my mind. All in all I'm glad I got this book and tape pack.
