Do you want to read gravestones, inscriptions, old newspapers, and your grandfather's letters? Ferman teaches Ottoman Turkish in short and fun lessons, in just a few minutes each day.
FROM ALPHABET TO OLD TEXTS
You start with the alphabet. You learn the letters and their initial, middle, and final forms within words. Within a few days, you'll be reading words, then sentences, and old printed texts. With the numbers lesson, you'll also learn to read the Hijri and Rumi calendars.
READ, WRITE, MATCH
Each lesson lasts only a few minutes. You read words, write them from the letters, match them with their meanings, and form short sentences. You can listen to the pronunciation of each word.
PERSONALIZED LESSONS
