Turkish Quiz
Here's another item stolen from Games magazine, April 1998 issue. Match the Turkish words on the left with their English equivalents on the right.
On the subject of Turkish vocabulary, I found the list of Basic English words I had intended to learn back in August. My proficiency was still around 50% or less, but I got a few more translations and memorized one or two. Seems technique is of little importance compared to actually putting in some effort regularly.
