Are you ready to supercharge your Turkish listening comprehension? Our podcast, Fluent Fiction - Turkish, is the perfect tool for you.

Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Turkish, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Turkish and English.

This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension.

But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Our podcast is not just for language learners; it's also for travelers or people who want to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Istanbul, Cappadocia, or the Aegean Coast? Maybe you want to speak Turkish with your Turkish-speaking friends or family members? Our podcast will give you the cultural and linguistic background to fully immerse in the regions of Turkey.
