Ambitions

Talking about the future 🎯

This module teaches the Turkish words for **ambitions, careers and study**. Each word is shown with its exact Turkish spelling and its English meaning. Turkish uses the special letters **ç, ğ, ı, i, ö, ş and ü** - they are part of the word, so **mühendis** and **hemşire** must keep them. Turkish also has **no "a" or "the"**, so nouns stand alone.

The grade-9 habit 🌟

To master this vocabulary, learn each word with its **exact spelling**, keeping the special letters - **mühendis**, **hemşire**, **çırak**, **gönüllü** - because they are part of the word. Keep the ideas that are easy to confuse clearly apart - **tutku**, your ambition, versus **kariyer**, the career you build - and link the study words (**üniversite**, **iş deneyimi**) to the jobs. Testing yourself both ways is what builds real recall.
