My favorite online Turkish dictionary recently posted a link to an online Turkish class. It looks promising and it's free. I just signed up to check it out.
Two friends bought me a wonderful gift—8 hours of Pimsleur Turkish audio instruction. Unlike my other tapes, the Pimsleur tapes (CDs) are 100% audio. A major virtue in that is that I can exercise and learn at the same time. So, I've been out jogging, weight training with heavy hands), and learning Turkish all at once. Talk about mind-body harmony! ;^)
The only "down side" is getting used to "talking to myself" in Turkish as I jog and follow along in each 30 minute lesson. As my girlfriend observed, it's not like speaking Spanish, which passersby could at least recognize. It's Turkish, which is truly exotic where I live.
Oh well, live and learn, in every sense of that wonderful expression.
