Turkish listening speed
120-160 words a minute
Medium speed Turkish
Real Turkish at normal Istanbul speed. You will hear short forms, extra words, and English words mixed in.
Real Turkish is faster than in books. Istanbul Turkish is what you hear on TV. But daily talk uses extra words that don't mean much, all the time. English words get mixed into Turkish too. Young people also make words shorter. And they use short words for friends and family. The soft g sound stays quiet in a word, but it makes the sound before it longer. Videos from Istanbul, food videos, and talks with real people all use this kind of daily talk. So you can hear the speed and the short words together. Pick people who talk at the same speed, and keep listening until it feels normal.
