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.

Fluent Fiction - Turkish is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Turkish listening comprehension. Don't miss this opportunity; give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself.

Tr: "Emir, buraya bak! Ne kadar güzel!" derken gözleri parlıyordu.

Tr: "Buyurun, bakmanız için ne güzel şeyler var burada," dedi Selim.
En: "Welcome, there are such beautiful things here for you to look at," said Selim.

Tr: Tezgâh rengârenk, çeşit çeşit ürünlerle doluydu. El yapımı takılar, çiniler, halılar...
En: The stall was filled with colorful, various products—handmade jewelry, tiles, carpets...

Tr: Emir, dikkatlice incelemek istedi.
En: Emir wanted to examine everything carefully.

Tr: Ama Selim'in yönlendirmesiyle Leyla, "Bunu almalıyız, Emir!" diye heyecanla atıldı.
En: But with Selim's guidance, Leyla excitedly jumped in, "We should buy this, Emir!"

Tr: Emir tereddüt etti.
En: Emir hesitated.

Tr: Ama aynı zamanda listesine de sadık kalmak istiyordu.
En: But he also wanted to stay true to his list.

Tr: Kalbi hızlı hızlı çarpmaya başladı.
En: His heart began to beat fast.

Tr: Karar vakti...
