Learn to Speak Turkish like a Turk
The Lale Language, Culture, and Consultancy Center (Lale Dil, Kültür, ve Danışmanlık Merkezi) is a language center that exists to open the doors to your community and life as a foreigner living in Turkey through Turkish fluency. We do this by assigning language coaches to you that will empower you to learn Turkish through a conversational, immersive approach that merges language and culture, which we believe are inseparable entities. You will find confidence, ongoing and creative opportunities to learn Turkish, and insight into the country and community you live in through the eyes of our native Turkish speakers.

Language Tracks
Want to speak Turkish like a Turk? These unique language courses will grow your Turkish language skills no matter what level of Turkish you are at. Those starting out begin by listening and then gradually improving conversational ability. If you already know some Turkish, you will have the opportunity to improve your vocabulary, accent and speaking skills. Tell a joke and even laugh at one! As you progress through the programs, you will learn to listen and share stories as you engage in the culture around you.
