Ok so after the other day's negative comment in re: Rosetta Stone Turkish Level 1, I thought I'd share a positive as well.
They do such an amazing job of introducing vowel harmony. I was wondering how they'd ever do it. But they show it very clearly using color-coding of the vowels and sort of walking you through it step by step. I mean, you wouldn't fully understand it, but you'd know something was going on with vowels changing without having to go HAY GUYS HERE'S A REALLY COMPLICATED LINGUISTIC CONCEPT, hope you paid attention in Ling 301!! (Also note that most Turks probably don't fully understand vowel harmony, much like most Americans or Brits don't understand, I dunno, prefix assimilation or something, so you don't need to understand it to speak it.)
