Deck Link is at the bottom of this post.

What is this deck?

I’m a native Turkish speaker and created this deck for a friend who wants to learn Turkish. And having a good outcome, I wanted to share this with everyone who would benefit from it.

This deck will teach you the top 5000 Turkish vocabulary, and their usage in sentences via example sentences. Every word contains one example sentence at least. For words that have two meanings, there will be two example sentence, and so on for three.

Deck sorted from easiest sentence to hardest (sorted via Turkish_Sentence_1_Character_Count field), because this is the best way to study. You can also reorder by Rank field if you prefer this.

Audio of this deck created via Google Cloud TTS premium service. The chosen TTS audio model is Turkish (Turkey), Male, tr-TR-Wavenet-E. Google’s latest WaveNet TTS systems offer about %90-95 proximity to real human voice. Which can be hard to distinguish from real human voice in most cases. This way of creating audio while offering real human voice experience, also offers high quality audio like it has been recorded in a studio.

Card Types

From 5000 words (notes), in total 15k cards exist. Every word (note) has 3 card type to improve learning experience. And sorting is as shown in following list. Card types are as follows.

first of all thanks for the hard work you have put into this, secondly i just wanted to ask you if i could use this deck to create a deck for turkish speakers to learn english or are the most common words in english too different from the most common words in turkish.
Btw its not for the sake of publishing but just helping a friend out that is struggeling with english.
