Luke

Hi, my name is Luke and I am the founder of Turkish Language Learning. I began learning Turkish from scratch in 2015, and I can now speak, write, and understand Turkish at an advanced level! My goal with creating a Turkish learning website is to provide other Turkish learners with the kind of resources I wish I had when I was learning. Besides speaking Turkish, I have also traveled there with my Turkish wife many times and spent many months there. Over the years, I have gotten a solid grasp of the uniqueness of Turkish culture which I embed into the Turkish learning content on this site. Feel free to check out my bio page to learn more about me or head to our team page to learn more about our other contributors. You can also check out my personal blog and podcast called Exploring Kodawari!
