Language Programs in Turkey

Turkey is a country known for its historical, yet modern cities, hospitable and friendly people, and distinct mixture of European and Asian cultures, making it an awe-inspiring place for language study abroad. At the center of three continents, the nation’s central geographical position makes it an even more unique place for language learning abroad. Whether you are a city dweller, history junkie, or a nature lover, Turkey offers attractive opportunities for nearly anyone. With a sea in every direction, beautiful coasts, countless bazaars (markets) to explore, and architecture that crosses time, it is no wonder that the number of foreigners traveling to Turkey continues to rise.

A Guide to Language Study Abroad in Turkey

Locations

There are opportunities for language study abroad located in cities across the country, so it is important to decide what you are looking for in your language study abroad experience, and then decide how and where you want to begin a language program in Turkey.

Istanbul. Typically thought of as the most well-known city in Turkey, Istanbul has a lot more to offer than just a beautiful skyline; Istanbul is the most desired place to learn Turkish in Turkey. Part of the city’s allure, besides Hagia Sophia of course, is its nice climate, friendly people, and the perfect city life it offers. From the müezzins in the minarets (pillars at the mosques) to the culturally infused food and nightlife, Istanbul makes cultural immersion seem easy, even if the languages being taught are challenging to learn.

Izmir. For those looking for a city smaller than Istanbul, Izmir is the place to go. Surrounded by mountains and beaches, Izmir rests on the Aegean Coast. It is a liberal and student-centric city, with half of the population under the age of 30. With Jewish, Greek, Armenian, and Levantine heritage, Izmir has a distinct background, but it is more commonly known for its creative and modern culture. Izmir is considered to be a different entity than other Turkish cities, but nevertheless it provides equally great opportunities for language study abroad in Turkey. 

Ankara. Otherwise known as the capital of Turkey, Ankara is the second biggest city in the country (aside from Istanbul). Although at first glance it might seem average, there is much to be loved about this capital city. With sites like AnitKabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (founder of Turkey), the city certainly has its own flavor. Ankara is another city with a dense student population, so there are plenty of fun things to do outside of language courses too. 

Antalya. Located on the Turkish Riviera, Antalya is the biggest city that rests upon the Mediterranean Coast. This charming city offers stunning beaches, outdoor activities, and many language program opportunities. With a number of museums, historic Ottoman houses, and Roman ruins, there is plenty to explore in Antalya. Not to mention you’ll be able to check out the historical district, Kaleiçi, after spending the morning at the Düden Waterfalls in the Taurus mountains, the perfect hot spots to try out your new vocabulary.
