When it comes to learning a language there are fewer places as inspiring as Istanbul. Its skyline shaped by the distinctive domes and spires of ancient mosques, this timeless city is an exotic blend of European, Arabic and Asian. Lose yourself in the souks, wander along the Bosphorus and admire the palaces of Sultans; this is the place to learn Turkish. You’ll soon realize that it is the place to be seen, too, as Istanbul is fast becoming one of the world’s hippest cities; as the sun goes down over its picture-postcard horizon, its vast number of bars, galleries and clubs open up to an ever-fashionable crowd, and a good night is guaranteed to be had across town.
Having been voted a European City of Culture in 2010, now is the perfect time to learn Turkish in Istanbul. The school where you study will organise a range of activities for you to enjoy after class with the friends you meet on your course, giving you the perfect opportunity to explore all that Istanbul has to offer and practise your Turkish outside the classroom.
