English Turkish Joke Book

By Jeremy Taylor

The English Turkish Joke Book is an excellent way for Turkish people to practise their English - and for foreigners who are trying to learn Turkish. Great jokes like:

“Sigara ve içki içme hakkında öyle çok kitap okudum ki bırakmaya karar verdim.”
“Sigarayı mı içkiyi mi?;”
“Okumayı”

or this classic

Bir ilkokul öğretmeni otobüste oturuyordu. Karşısındaki adamı tanıdığına oldukça emindi.
“Afedersiniz” dedi, “fakat, siz benim çocuklarımdan birinin babası mısınız?”

I first learnt German by telling jokes to people in my awful German. But I quickly progressed and now I'm pretty fluent - and know lots of great jokes as well. When you're trying to improve your skills in a foreign language, reading is one of the best ways - and reading jokes is probably the best of all. The best way to use this book is to treat it like a swimming pool on a warm day. Dip in now and again and it's a very pleasant experience. If you stay in too long you won't enjoy it as much.
