Just as foreign students come to Turkey to study the culture of the country. Studying in another country is like an interesting adventure. Everything is new and unusual.

Especially if you win the grant, you will have a fascinating journey into the world of Turkish culture. The main thing-the study of the Turkish language. Suggest to be engaged in this process during the year before admission. Turkish language is logically simple. During the year of self-study, you can achieve good results. When you arrive to live in Turkey, you will immediately understand your advantage. Free courses provided by universities are of a very high level. But if you have already started to learn Turkish by yourself, you will be very comfortable at the courses. At the end of the course you will need to pass the exam well. Can you recommend books for self-study: 1.The first place I would put a tutorial E. G. Katukovo  2. On second place I put the textbook by L. N. Dudina  3. Third place goes to the tutorial N.P. By Sidorin  **Small tips for learning Turkish:** Better, if there is all three a textbook. One of them comes with a disc (Ln Dudina), which is convenient for listening. I like this set very helpful. To listen to the language I suggest to look cheerful youth series ["Kiraz Mevsimi"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6duVsKzdCM), which means "Cherry season". The film is in Russian translation. Why is it? The fact is that the film is a normal modern Turkish language. Comedy plot with romantic inserts looks light. If you find a film with Russian titles, it will be great. We did have, but I couldn't find. He who seeks will find, go for it!
