Pros:
Dialogues are built around practical themes. It provides learning material on a language less commonly studied and where textbooks, few and far between, tend to be outdated (especially where English is the learner's base language).

Cons:
Audio tracks do not work. Website www.myazericlasses.com does not exist. Only 156 usable pages, moreover, from page 18 to page 184 subtracting ten blank pages after each of ten chapters serve as learning material. More like a survival guide than a rigorous elementary treatment of the language.

Review text:
Some dialogues in a limited array of social contexts are presented: basic greetings, family and profession, at the Bazar, at the mall, on the telephone, at a party, at work in office, medical care and hotel reservation. A major drawback is that the promised audio files are not accessible; there is no accompanying CD rom or QR code so this is a poor resource for self-study. or the beginner, phonetics is important contrasting vowel sounds of i with ı (dot less) and making the ə sound correctly as well as vowels with umlauts ö and ü. Even the consonant ğ requires some effort. Hearing whole words in sentences spoken by native speakers speaking at a normal pace is vital for development of aural as well as oral skills. Yet, this resource falls flat in these two aspects. Overall, this is more like a survival language course; it in effect consists of only 156 pages of usable text, the rest being perfunctory introductory palaver, blank pages between chapters and a two-way dictionaries. It is touted as comprehensive but is not a systematic treatment of the language. The exercises are not sufficient whether in depth, scope or variety. Too much space is wasted. Font sizes for English are too big and likewise for the two-way dictionary. The dictionary could easily have had double columns. Margins, especially top-bottom, are too big, wasting space, along with needless blank pages. Much more content could have been provided in a book of 234 pages.
