Turkish conversational for beginners.
Turkey is a country that each of you knows firsthand. Every year more and more tourists come to Turkey to soak up the sun on the shores of the clean Black Sea. This is a unique state that is rich in historical monuments, has a huge cultural heritage, attracts with nightclubs, beaches and, of course, its world-famous markets. Here you will find both leisure to your liking and goods. However, both for one and for the second one will need at least a minimal knowledge of the Turkish language, because being in a foreign state you can accidentally get lost or get into some kind of emergency. In order for you not to feel a drop of discomfort during your stay in Turkey, we have compiled an excellent Russian-Turkish phrasebook.

Description:
For the average Russian, there are only a couple of places for relatively cheap and comfortable rest. One of these places is Turkey. If you are going to go on vacation to this particular country, then the following application may be useful to you. To communicate with the local population, at least at a primitive level, you can try using russian-Turkish phrasebook... Which contains the simplest phrases for a variety of situations. The application can be downloaded for free from our website. All information used to create the application is taken from open sources.
Interface:
Everything in the application is done very simply and uncommon. There are 2 color modes: day and night. For the convenience of a tourist, all phrases are divided into categories and you can always find what you need in terms of content, starting from "specifying the time" and uploading "Turkish sayings". Only, probably for a Russian tourist, with the help of this application you can also learn to swear in Turkish.
The phrasebook provides a keyword search, which is very convenient. Suppose you are in a market or a store, and you need to ask "how much does it cost?" In this case, go to the search and type in the word "how much". The application will instantly find all phrases in which the given word is used.
Conclusion:
The application contains the most basic phrases that you may need when visiting Turkey. All information is presented in an easy-to-read form. It's a pity that you can't add your own phrases, and there is no built-in translator. I hope this application is useful to you.
