Learning Turkish — Do As I Say

Where to begin?
My Turkish is largely self-taught, acquired on a need-to-know basis. As a result my experience of learning Turkish has been a largely hit and miss affair. I learnt by talking to doctors, real estate agents and assorted government personnel. These situation were fraught with tension and nerves as I had to get everything absolutely right. Failing to do so had serious consequences. Luckily these days I can practice my Turkish in more relaxed and rewarding ways.
