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.

Good lessons in advance!

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

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.

Subscriptions can be 1, 3, 6, or 12 months in length, and its exact length will be determined by the month.
