Turacoon is a website where you can learn Turkish at all levels. However, we have a special working model for beginners.

In Turacoon you have the freedom to choose teachers. But, if you are a beginner, we will apply a "coaching system". First of all, we assign a professional Turkish teacher to you and he/she follows your learning process.

We recommend that you regularly take lessons with that teacher. Because the most important rule for learning a new language is continuity.

If you are not a beginner, have a little knowledge of Turkish and can understand the simple sentences, it will be very useful to use Turacoon to improve your Turkish. Because every day you have the opportunity to practice with instructors who is native Turkish.

The best way to see if Turacoon is right for you is just trying it!

To choose the most suitable plan for you:

https://www.turacoon.com/en/my-plans

Anyone who only speaks Turkish or whose profession is only to teach Turkish can not teach in Turacoon.

Here, the tutors who give you Turkish lessons are the ones whose professions is "teaching Turkish to foreigners.".

Besides, our tutors provide their income from subscription fees in Turacoon. We bring you and our tutors together online through a special software developed only for Turacoon.

Surely, all these services cause some expenses. Unfortunately for all these reasons, we can not offer you Turacoon for free :(

Thank you for your understanding.

If you just want to try the system and learn about teachers, you can choose our basic package. (25 minutes per day - 1 lesson per week - 1 month subscription)

If you want to learn Turkish faster and you think that more practice will be beneficial, 1 lesson package per week will not be enough for you. We recommend that you choose a package of at least 3 lessons per week.

If you think that you should learn Turkish with planned and systematic lessons instead of just speaking practice, we recommend that you choose plans with 50 minutes a day, at least 3 times a week.

As soon as you subscribe, you can start immediately. We have our tutors online 24/7 waiting for you to start practicing Turkish. 

We have a 12-hour rule to book a lesson.

This means: Once you have subscribed, you cannot start the lesson immediately. You can get a lesson reservation at least 12 hours before. Because we do not want both you and teachers to attend unprepared classes.

For example, if you want to book a lesson tomorrow morning at 10:00, you must book this at 22:00 tonight.

You can change the weekly lesson rights and lesson minutes as you wish. 

You can extend the duration of your subscription, but you cannot shorten it. ÖFor example; You can increase your 3-month subscription to 6 months, but you cannot change it to 1 month.

Question: How will the amount I have to say Ö be calculated?

Answer: Immediately after choosing the package, you will be greeted with an explanatory table of how much you should pay. The cost of the days you don't use in your existing subscription will be deducted from the price of your new subscription and the fee you have to say will be recalculated. In order to make this calculation, you must contact the customer representative. You can start using your new package as soon as you upgrade.

Good lessons in advance!

You can start using your Turacoon subscription as soon as your purchase is completed!

Weekly rights are renewed at 04:30 (GMT) on the day the subscription start date falls.

For example, if your subscription start date falls on a Wednesday, your weekly rights will renew every Wednesday at 04:30 AM (GMT).
It is possible to track the time remaining to renew weekly rights from the dashboard.

You can take a course within 12 hours at the earliest. Because we want to make the whole organization complete in order to provide you with a higher quality service.

We think that it is not right to do the lessons without preparation. For this reason, you can book at least 12 hours before a lesson.

Subscription plan minutes are refreshed each day at midnight in UTC.

If you'd like to change it to another time other than midnight in UTC (e.g. 7PM every night or 12AM every night in your local time), let us know by contacting us and we'll change that for you!

The daily limit must be used each day, or else it will expire. Your new minutes will then be refreshed the following day.

We designed our plans this way to promote the daily practice, as the best way to improve your Turkish is to practice consistently.

However, we understand students may miss days due to busy schedules, so we price our daily plans very low. Even if you miss a few days, it still is a great value to purchase a subscription and practice regularly.

Subscription plan minutes are refreshed each day at midnight in UTC. It's important to know that each week on Turacoon begins again on Monday.

For example, if your plan allows you to chat for 5 days per week, you can choose any 5 days during the week (from Monday until Sunday). It's up to you! Once you start talking on one day, you must finish using the day’s remaining subscription minutes on the same day.

Yes, you can cancel the subscription by sending us a Support request.

You will only be charged for the months that you used (after deducting discounts for long-term plans and other expenses for the transfer of refund.).

For example, if you purchase a 3-month plan and receive a 10% discount for it, and you choose to cancel after one month, then you will be charged only the full monthly price (what you would have paid if you didn't buy a 3-month plan).

After deducting discounts for long-term plans and expenses for the transfer of refund, the remainder will be returned to you. Alternatively, you can also downgrade your plan to a smaller one and receive a refund for the difference in cost after deduction of expenses and discounts mentioned above.

Again, you can make changes from your subscription page.

1- There is no freeze for one month subscriptions.

Turacoon has an option to record lecture videos. All you have to do is pay the extra charge to access your recordings. For this, you need to activate the video recording feature while subscribing. The lessons of the students who buy the video-recorded package are recorded and these recordings are kept for the duration of the subscription. During this time, you can watch the previous lessons again whenever you want. All you have to do is go to the "Past Reservations" tab in the student panel, select the lesson on the date you want and click on the video recording. In a subscription without video recording feature, the lessons are recorded and stored for two days. However, the student cannot watch these lessons. If you decide to purchase a video-free subscription and watch the lecture videos later, you can upgrade your package to the video-recorded option at any time. In this case, your videos after the date you upgraded your package will be saved.

Lesson videos of users whose subscription has expired are stored for another 30 days from the subscription end date. Users who renew their subscription during this period can continue to watch past lecture videos. Past lecture videos of users who do not renew their subscription within 30 days will be deleted.

If you don't want your classes to get Recorded all you have to do is Sign in - Go to your Account - Subscription and then deactivate the Video Regording.
