Lingo Dingo and the Turkish chef by Mark Pallis

Learning Turkish for kids and children has never been more fun


Following on from the success of the wildly popular The Fabulous Lost and Found and the little Turkish mouse, bestselling author, and writer on the Emmy Winning Tales of Peter Rabbit, Mark Pallis returns to make learning Turkish for kids and children even more fun


Lingo Dingo loves to help. Anyone. Anytime. Anyhow.... In this heartwarming story, Lingo must help a Turkish chef make the perfect birthday cake. There's just one problem. The chef only speaks Turkish.... What could go wrong ?


This heartwarming English Turkish kids book:

  • Blends an English language story with over 50 Turkish words and phrases so that children learn Turkish without realising;
  • Builds a child's confidence in engaging with a new language;
  • Cements the foundation of a lifelong love of the Turkish language.

And now with the follow up bilingual Greek English story, Lingo Dingo and the Turkish astronaut, you can learn another 50 Turkish words and phrases


This book uses the unique Story Powered Language Learning method work to help children learn Turkish without realising it.


Unlike other Turkish English books for children, or traditional bilingual Turkish English childrens books (or bilingual Turkish English kids books), this Turkish language learning book for kids is different. We take a fun character, Lingo Dingo, who kids will love, and then we put her in a tight squeeze, where she needs to figure out the meaning of the Turkish words and phrases in the story in order to help save the day. Kids will be so busy laughing that they don't realise they're learning.


Message from the Author


I am passionate about learning languages. There is something special about that sense of connection you get when you talk to another person in their mother tongue. The expression 'they really spoke my language' really captures that magic feeling. So unlike other Turkish childrens books, this book makes Turkish for kids fun. I really wanted to focus on words and expressions that would make people smile. Imagine the joy on the child's face when they say that special phrase to a native speaker They'll feel so proud, and you will too


with my best wishes,

Mark Pallis
