Istanbul ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Istanbul
What our students said about Istanbul
Hospitable, friendly city, lots of stores and entertainment catering to all tastes and wallets. Fairly safe place - there is an active life until 1 am in the tourist part of the center, some stores are open, a lot of police, but no disturbances. Historical monuments, museums, parks, a city with a very convenient public transportation system. Fresh air, sunny weather and friendly people create an unforgettable atmosphere of joy and pleasure. Depending on the time of year, it is possible to visit the nearby islands to enjoy a beach holiday.
This city is very impressive! It is buzzing day and night. The cleanliness is as good as I have ever experienced in any big city. You can experience whatever your heart desires. The various services are almost without exception impressively good and of great creativity. The cuisine is also very appealing.
Istanbul is a fascinating city with a mix of tradition and modernity. There are many sights, great walking districts, lots of helpful people and a great public transport network. Unfortunately, the euro has also arrived here and many things have become expensive.
Great, exhausting, exciting, colourful - Istanbul is something you have to walk around or use public transport. Taksim is the area to go for shopping, eating out, amusement, contemporary witnesses can be found everywhere in the city. Multicultural and open-minded.
I liked the ferry rides best, and apart from that I walked around a lot and found Orhan Pamuk's museum very imaginative. As a solo traveller, I had no problems at all going out to eat. However, I can't say anything about the nightlife...
Istanbul is my favourite city in the whole world! I am nowhere as happy as in İstanbul! The warmest people I know live in Istanbul and the city will always have a place in my heart!!!
Istanbul is a huge city with an enormous history. There are a lot of sights, beaches and night life is not neglected either.
Everything from a big city. Unfortunately, as a foreigner you have to pay a lot for everything.
A beautiful city and I am very much in love with it, I will come again inschalah
Istanbul is the most interesting city I have ever seen. Istanbul is unique.

I would like to praise the excellent organization before and during my stay. There was always someone to talk to if I had any questions or challenges. The central location of the school was also very convenient. The lessons are taught exclusively in Turkish with English assistance. The teachers were all very helpful and open. Shoukran to Emine :-)

FAQ about schools in Istanbul
- I am an absolute beginner and would like to focus on practical conversation rather than grammar. Is that possible?“If you are an absolute beginner, you will need grammar before you can converse, as you will naturally need to learn to build sentences first. ”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 12, 2024How many hours should I study to achieve the different levels (A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2) in Turkish?“On average, for A1/A2 level you need about 100-120 hours, for B1/B2 450-490 hours and for C1/C2 1000-1100 hours of study. Of course, it all depends on how quickly you pick it up, what your prior knowledge is (possibly also of a similar language) and whether you learn the language in the country of origin. So, for this reason, we specialise in offering languages in the country of origin, as there you improve your language skills the fastest! ”Robin Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 21, 2022Didn't find what you are looking for?Interested in a specific type of course?
