Study plans
A 30-day Turkish vocabulary plan: topics, review and practice
A month can help you build a habit, cover useful topics and start using familiar words in short conversations. This plan does not promise a level or fixed word count: progress depends on time, starting knowledge and practice.
How to use the plan
Study for 20–30 minutes daily, or split the work into two shorter sessions. Keep new sets small and reserve time for previous words. After a missed day, resume where you stopped rather than doubling the workload.
Week 1: a base for first sentences
Cover greetings, people, places, questions, numbers and time. On days when you study new words, choose 6–8 and one example sentence. Write a sentence of your own, and reduce the number of new words if review becomes difficult. Finish the week with the practice exercises.
Week 2: everyday situations
Work on home, food, shopping and travel. Review the first week’s meanings alongside new vocabulary. Twice this week, act out a two-turn exchange: a question and an answer.
Week 3: actions and connectors
Add common verbs, time expressions and connectors. Record each verb with a short example from a textbook so you can see the form used in a sentence. Revisit earlier mistakes.
Week 4: use and review
Choose one situation each day and say or write 3–5 simple sentences. Compare your first and final tasks: are you responding more easily without translating a script? Keep difficult words in regular review.
Days 29–30: check progress and choose your next topics
On day 29, repeat a task from your first week without looking at your notes. Compare what you can now say and which words still need a prompt. On day 30, choose two or three topics for the next month and carry difficult words into your review schedule.
A 25-minute session
- 5 minutes: review difficult cards.
- 10 minutes: study a new thematic set with examples.
- 5 minutes: hide the notes and recall.
- 5 minutes: create a personal sentence.
Use the 100 starter words for topics and the interval guide for review.
Common questions
How many words will I know after 30 days?
There is no single word count that everyone will reach. What matters is how many you can recall and use in new sentences.
What if the plan is too fast?
Reduce new words while retaining review and a short practical task.
Should I take the test every day?
No. A score does not replace practice. Less frequent checks in the same mode and conditions are more useful.
Check your vocabulary
Translate a selection of Turkish words to get a rough estimate of your vocabulary. The test does not establish an A1–C2 level or replace an examination.
