In-person or Online

Since 2014, Turkish ConneXion has been offering Turkish language classes with a strong focus on quality instruction and community. What began with in-person classes in Tribeca, New York, has grown into a vibrant program offering dynamic online classes to students across the U.S. and in-person classes at 31 East 32nd street, suite 605, in New York City.

We offer in-person and online group classes for every age, on weekdays and weekends. Classes are held once a week during our 10-week semesters. Our approach combines structured learning, small class sizes, and personalized attention, with a strong emphasis on conversation and real-life communication.

Our Curriculum & Teaching Philosophy

At Turkish ConneXion, teaching Turkish is a joy – and we want you to feel that same excitement while learning with us.

We’ve developed a curriculum specifically designed for English-speaking learners, focusing on clarity, structure, and communication. Our goal is to help you not just memorize Turkish, but think in it, use it confidently, and enjoy the process.

Our program is divided into five core levels aligned with international language standards (CEFR):

  • Beginner – A1: T101–T105
  • Lower-Intermediate – A2: T201–T206
  • Intermediate – B1: T301–T307
  • Upper-Intermediate – B2: T401–T407
  • Advanced – C1: T501–T507

Each core level is divided into several 10-week semesters to allow more practice, stronger foundations, and gradual progress. You have the choice to enroll in any of the 4 semesters we offer for each class per year. In our classes we use grammar as a tool, not a barrier. Students develop competency through real-life use, interaction, and the continued application of the learned vocabulary and grammar by use of these communication skills:

  • Speaking
  • Listening
  • Reading
  • Writing
