Merhaba! Turkish has approximately 90 million speakers worldwide, 90 percent of which are in Turkey, and the rest spread over some 35 countries including Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, North Macedonia, Romania and Uzbekistan. Although distantly related to Finnish and Hungarian, Turkish bears no relation to the other major languages of Europe or the Middle East.

The words divan, kayak, kebab, kiosk, pilaf, and yogurt are of Turkish origin.

Private Turkish Classes

We offer semi-private Turkish classes or private Turkish lessons for any level of Turkish.

Some students prefer private lessons instead of a scheduled class, or occasionally take private classes to augment their existing, scheduled group course.

Private classes are more flexible than Group classes. They are tailored to specific learning and scheduling needs. They can be useful if a student's language knowledge is uneven, if a more intensified study program is needed, or if privacy is a concern.

With our large staff of native speakers, we can schedule private lessons in most languages.

Private lessons are available in packages of:

  • 4 classes (80-minutes each)

  • 8 classes (80-minutes each)

  • 12 classes (80-minutes each)

Or, if you are enrolled in a group class, your private lesson can be scheduled individually.

Please write us or call (323) 651-5000 to schedule your private class.

Why Learn Turkish?

Learn [LANGUAGE] in Los Angeles

Turkey has geographical strategic importance, and is often referred to as a bridge between the East and West. The great variety in dress on the streets of Istanbul illustrates this point: men may be in traditional garb or in T-shirts and jeans; women, in headscarves or in miniskirts and high-heeled shoes.

Mastering a new language can change your life.

Spending time studying an unfamiliar alphabet, practicing different sounds, and generally striving to master a foreign language like Turkish has been proven to have a positive effect on the learner's mind. Studies show that adults learning new languages stimualte similar brain parts as children learning you speak. You'll find it easier to learn and remember new things, and you'll likely enjoy the ability to hold more things in short-term memory.

Bilingual individuals often demonstrate increased open-mindedness, creativity, and approachability compared to those who speak only one language. Learning a new language extends beyond acquiring linguistic skills; it cultivates new sensibilities and a broadened perspective on the world. Consequently, multilingualism promotes a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and customs, fostering greater acceptance of new ideas.

The Beverly Hills Lingual Institute invites you to learn Turkish at our award-winning school, where we are proud to offer Turkish and more than 35 other languages.

Our language school hires and retains exceptional Turkish teachers, eager to share their knowledge and love for their native land and the Turkish language.

Our attractive location, on-site parking and schedule all combine to facilitate your Turkish courses.

More About Turkish

The basic word order of Turkish is subject-object-verb, which may appear odd to English speakers. For instance, Kadın kitabı okudu literally means, 'The woman the book read.' However, Turkish also has no noun classes or grammatical gender. You do not need to remember whether a thing is masculine or feminine as you do in French or German. Turkish grammar is also very regular: learn a rule and there are usually no exceptions.

Turkish has used a version of the Latin alphabet since 1928. It has eight vowels and 21 consonants. Each letter only makes one sound. The Turkish Latin script features dotted and undotted i's, o's, and u's, but in most cases beginners can pronounce them as usual. The extra letters are ş ('sh'), ç ('ch') and ğ. The last of these, known as 'yumuşak (soft) g,' is a placeholder letter which makes no sound; it merely elongates the letters around it. Relaxing your throat and vocal cords will help you make that subtle connection between the surrounding vowels.

Where English uses a number of words, Turkish often uses only one. For example, the phrase 'you will be able to come,' is the single word gelebileceksin. Where English adds meaning to the verb 'come' by placing other words in front of it, Turkish adds meaning to the verb gel by tagging endings onto it: gel ('come'), -ebil ('be able to'), -ecek ('will'), and -sin ('you'). The technical term for this way of doing things is agglutination, which means 'sticking bits together.'

Vowel harmony is a fundamental aspect of the Turkish language. When you agglutinate in Turkish, most of the endings usually have to rhyme, or harmonize, with the word you're adding them to. The ğ letter plays a significant role in preserving harmony within words. The vowels of suffixes must harmonize with the vowels of noun and verb stems: if the stem has a round vowel, for example, then the vowel of the suffix must be round, and so on.
