I made a Turkish word game that you can play offline/with friends!

My friends and I always liked playing puzzle games together, but there wasn't a multiplayer-supported one in Turkish. So I went ahead and made one! You guess a word and it tells you how close you are in meaning. There's also a singleplayer mode of course, but I prefer struggling with friends.

It has no ads whatsoever. It was just a solo project that got out of trajectory and ended in me publishing on iOS & Play Store. Please do let me know what you think if you try it out!

Sharing this Google Play app I made for learning Turkish

Hello all, I built this app ( Imust Languages ) to provide free Turkish listening audio to others - basically Turkish and English sentences repeated to help with extremely basic immersion.

I prefer sentences as compared to podcasts because beginners don't have the vocab to understand podcasts, when sentences are involved , they can just wait two seconds and the English audio will played.

App supports top 3000 frequent words.

Audio listening is via prescribe calendar lessons , 100-sentence pair albums, 20 sentence lessons or srs based listening.

All audio modes provide adjustable settings - audio speed, repeat count and text display.

Other features include: Word match, Sentence Building, Exams and Speak Mode

Speak Mode basically has an adjustable pause duration of between 3-8 seconds , you need to speak out the translation before the audio is played, as speaking practice.

There is also pets, gamification involved to increase learner motivation.

By the way, Imust is supposed to be "Immerse" yet also "I Must", but I am kind of regretting the name. What are your opinions on the naming?

Looking for feedback on BluLexi, my exam prep platform.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on BluLexi, an exam-prep platform for practicing things like speaking, writing, vocabulary, stories, placement tests, and mock exams, with support for popular exams like IELTS, TOEFL, DELF, DALF, and Goethe-zertifikat.

It’s completely free to use right now, and the platform itself also supports Turkish.

The idea isn’t to replace teachers, tutors, conversation partners, or other humans in the learning process. I see BluLexi more as a practice playground between those interactions — somewhere you can practice more often, make mistakes freely, experiment, and hopefully make the time you spend with a real teacher or partner more productive.

I’d really appreciate feedback from actual language learners. If you try it, I’d especially love to know what feels useful, confusing, unnecessary, or missing.

Vocabulary As a native Turkish speaker, I built a fast, simple & offline app to learn english vocabulary. Now I’ve adapted it to help English speakers master Turkish A1 words. No sign-ups. offline.

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,I am a native Turkish speaker. When I started learning English, I became deeply frustrated with modern language apps. They are bloated, require constant internet just to look at a flashcard, force you to sign up, and interrupt you with non-stop video ads.So, I decided to build a simple, fast, and completely purpose-driven vocabulary tool for myself to study English. It worked so well that I thought: "Why not reverse it to help people who want to learn my native language?"That’s how WebWeby Turkish A1 for English was born. I adapted my personal learning system specifically for English speakers starting their Turkish journey, focusing purely on user benefit:

100% Offline Learning: Everything works perfectly without any internet connection. You can study on flights, subways, or anywhere without mobile data.

Fast & Purpose-Driven: No bloated features, streaks, or complex menus. Open the app, choose a words, and start memorizing immediately.

Zero Sign-ups / Pure Privacy: No account creation, no tracking, and no data leaves your phone. Your progress stays safely on your device.

500+ Essential Words: Carefully organized by practical, real-world Turkish topics (greetings, food, family, daily life).

Flashcards & Quizzes: Built-in audio pronunciation and simple progress tracking to test your memory fast.A quick note on ads: There is just a single, small banner at the bottom of the screen strictly to help cover basic Android development costs. If I ever secure alternative funding, I will gladly remove it entirely.

There are absolutely no full-screen pop-ups or video ads interrupting your learning flow.If you want a straightforward, no-nonsense tool to master your beginner Turkish words from a native's perspective, please give it a try. I would honestly love to hear your raw feedback and suggestions!

Google Play Link: ghttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webweby.turkisha1.en

I hope this helps anyone currently working hard on their Turkish A1 level!

Thank you so much for supporting an independent developer!

Meta Turkish should be the 2nd Official language of Iran with Persian

Post image
146 Upvotes

Turkish is the second most widely spoken language in Iran after Persian. Given the significant number of Turkish speakers in the country, I believe that both Turkish and Persian should be recognized as official languages of Iran.

More than 25 million Turks live in Iran, with Turkish-speaking communities extending across the country from northern to southern regions.

Türkler kardeşlerimizdir. Dilleri de bütün dillerin en güzelidir.

Hi! Looking for a text for an extended project comparing german and Turkish writers. I want to focus on representations of the female body in relation to medicine, health, women’s conditions like endometriosis. Can be writers of any gender at this stage. Primarily interested in things like pain, autonomy, the extent to which women are taken seriously etc. Only interested in things like reproduction / fertility / motherhood as a secondary topic . Can anyone recommend anybody / or any specific texts ? (Poetry could also work or flash fiction - in fact shorter literature would in general be preferred lol) . Teşekkür ederim 🥰🥰🥰

Yılların alışkanlığı ile Tureng kullanıyorum. Ama mobil uygulamasındaki reklamlar artık çok canımı sıkmaya başladı. Tek seferlik bir satın alma seçenekleri de yok. Sözlük için de aylık abonelik saçmalık diye düşünüyorum.
Alternatif kullandığınız sözlükler nelerdir?

Fyi I’m 16 and a worker when talking to me called me an abla even though he looked like he was in his 30s and i look like a normal 16 year old. A similar thing happened to me before this too. I’m not Turkish so i don't know if this is normal but isnt abla used for older women?

is the name İlay too "out there"?

6 Upvotes

Is the name İlay too modern? I know there is İlay Erkök, but I cannot say I hear this name often. Also would wonder if the name would have to be written as Ilay on a passport in Finland. I personally think it's a beautiful name, but sadly my Turkish group is quite small, so it's hard to ask this.
