Learn Turkish five days a week for 3 (Standard) or 4 (Intensive) lessons per day and have the rest of the day off! The school's classroom sizes will not be more than 8 students and they will provide all language levels, from beginners to advanced.

To be able to offer you a Turkish course of your level and ability, the school will ask you to complete a small diagnostic/placement test in advance.

The school's professional teachers will focus on the four general language skills while using various methods to learn Turkish.

Furthermore, the school will involve you in cultural activities beyond your language course.

For good results, the school advises attending a course no shorter than two weeks.

Special note for 2024 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2024 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2023 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2024 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Hussein 4.0

"The most important thing is that if you want to learn a language, you need more than 4 times 45 minutes a day. This should be extended, even if it is more expensive. But it should be longer than 4 hours in one course. But if you want to have fun, see Istanbul and make friends, sure that's different, then it's all good. "

Dmitrii 5.0

"Excellent course and I have a big progress."

Nisakhan 5.0

"Did not match the intensity, slow learning of the programme The teacher starts repeating the rules for students who joined later, as if making privileges for latecomers. It was illogical. I had to sit and be bored while the teacher repeated the already learnt material material to the new student. And I was wasting time while I could have mastered more."

Tatjana 5.0

"I was very pleased with my teacher."

"The host family is very nice. Mum Ayşe had to work 6 days a week and on the 7th day she didn't rest, but cleaned her flat and did laundry - including mine. The neighbourhood - Kağithane - seems to have never heard of tourism; it is just as originally Turkish as I had imagined. The family is really nice and uncomplicated and I had dinner with Ayşe every evening and we chatted for an hour over tea afterwards."

Student opinions about Royal Turkish Education Center, Istanbul

Mohammad Amin

31 years

“I attended the Turkish course at Royal Turkish Schools in Taksim, Istanbul, from September 11th to September 29th, 2023, and I am extremely pleased with my experience. Despite having no prior knowledge of Turkish, I was able to make significant progress in a very short time. This achievement is credited to the outstanding teachers who not only possess impressive expertise but are also full of energy and competence. A special thanks to "Elif," who played a crucial role in our learning journey. The speed at which I was able to learn in this course pleasantly surprised me. I never thought I would achieve so much in such a short period. For this reason, I wholeheartedly recommend Royal Turkish Schools. Don't hesitate; this school is truly excellent!”

Christiane

“The lessons were professional and extremely fun and enjoyable. I have already reached a B1/B2 level and was able to build on this thanks to my lovely teacher Şeyma. We quickly decided that I should learn everyday Turkish and not work with textbooks at all, but spend the whole morning having conversations. This is challenging for both the teacher and the student. Şeyma found just the right amount of challenge and support - but after 2 weeks I was really exhausted. Aysel (hanim), who provides the students with tea and coffee during the numerous breaks and always has a friendly word for everyone at every language level, is also very kind.”

“The school does not offer any excursions or tips for excursions. However, Şeyma was very helpful when I asked and explained to me where I could find Domuş and how to get to Üsküdar.”

“I really liked the school, it's conveniently located, pleasant atmosphere, young talented teachers, individual approach to everyone. Despite the non-core direction of the English language, personal training was carried out, since there was not enough of the group, as well the school even allowed to pay on arrival. There is an opportunity to live in a host family or in a separate apartment. Only positive emotions, I recommend the school.”

Quality of teaching / language progress

5.0

Quality of teaching / language progress: I really liked the fact that there were only three of us in the group. The teacher Emine is wonderful! The course was structured exactly as I wanted it to be.

Other comments I will definitely try to take another course in a while.

“Slightly slow learning pace of the programme. I signed up for an intensive course, but didn't get an intensive learning speed. In 4 weeks, very few grammar rules were studied.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Did not match the intensity, slow learning of the programme The teacher starts repeating the rules for students who joined later, as if making privileges for latecomers. It was illogical. I had to sit and be bored while the teacher repeated the already learnt material material to the new student. And I was wasting time while I could have mastered more.

Other comments The staff is wonderful
