INTRODUCTION

In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Turkish
learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native. You'll learn how these key
phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition
and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and
any variations.
