Turkish, designed around your child.
Personalized online Turkish for children ages 4–9 — private or semi-private, built around their interests, developmental needs and your family's goals.
Private from $900 · Semi-private from $600 per learner — 20 live lessons.

A Turkish program designed around your child — not the other way around.
A four-year-old and a nine-year-old should not experience Turkish the same way. Before your child begins, our curriculum team builds the learning plan around their age, developmental needs, interests, current Turkish, personality, your family goals and your cultural connection to the language.
Your child tries the program before your family commits.
- STEP 1
MEET THE PARENT
A complimentary consultation helps us understand your child, their Turkish exposure, interests, family environment and goals.
- STEP 2
DESIGN THE FIRST LESSON
Our curriculum team prepares a personalized first lesson based on what we learned.
- STEP 3
LET YOUR CHILD TRY IT
Your child experiences the lesson before your family makes a financial commitment.
- STEP 4
DECIDE TOGETHER
If you continue, the first lesson becomes Lesson 1 of the 20-lesson program. If you do not continue, it remains a complimentary trial.
We want your child to have a voice in the decision, too.
BEFORE PAYMENT
Private or semi-private — both fully personalized.
Rolling starts, so you begin when your family is ready. Start timing depends on instructor availability and program fit, so we confirm your schedule with you.
The most personalized Turkish Playhouse experience.
Ages 4–9·1 learner·25–35 minute sessions
20 live lessons, typically completed over approximately 10 weeks, with a minimum of two sessions per week.
Schedule
Days and times are coordinated around the child, the family and instructor availability.
$900paid in full
$525 × 2 on the 2-payment plan · $1,050 total
A good fit for semi-private:
Siblings · friends · children families want to enroll together · learners with compatible ages, goals and schedules. MF confirms compatibility before the program continues, and we do not match unrelated children automatically.
A structured program, flexible around family life.
Travel, school commitments and busy family periods happen. If your family needs a temporary break, Turkish Playhouse can be paused and the remaining lessons coordinated when you are ready to return.
For semi-private programs, schedule changes must also work for the other participating families and instructor.
Already completed your child's first lesson?

Designed by language specialists. Taught by educators who understand children.
Playhouse instructors are multilingual educators trained through one of two pathways — Boğaziçi University · Foreign Language Education or Hacettepe University · Preschool Education — not both. The curriculum itself is designed by our Curriculum Design Team.

A curriculum built from scratch — not around a generic coursebook.
Turkish Playhouse is built on Multilingual Future's own Turkish curriculum, developed by our Curriculum Design Team, whose training includes doctoral and research work in Second Language Acquisition (University of Wisconsin–Madison), Applied Linguistics (Penn State) and Linguistics (MIT).

Every Turkish Playhouse educator is trained in foreign language education.
Every member of Multilingual Future's Curriculum Design Team and Instructional Team received formal university training in Foreign Language Education at Boğaziçi University.
Their undergraduate training includes foreign language acquisition and teaching, linguistics, language-teaching methodology, pedagogy, and supervised teaching practice — creating a shared academic foundation for how Multilingual Future designs curriculum and teaches languages.
Our instructors are not simply fluent Turkish speakers or general tutors. They share formal university training in how languages are learned and how they are taught.
Our teachers are language learners, too.
Every Turkish Playhouse instructor is multilingual. In addition to near-native proficiency in Turkish and English, each member of our instructional team has developed advanced proficiency in at least one additional language through their own language-learning journey.
Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, Persian, French and beyond — our instructors know firsthand what it means to learn another language as an adult, work through unfamiliar grammar, build confidence in speaking, and gradually turn classroom knowledge into real communication.
That experience shapes how we teach: with structure, empathy, realistic expectations, and a clear understanding of what learners need in order to keep progressing.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE CURRICULUM
Designed by researchers and educators working in language education, linguistics, and language learning.
Materials evolve each term based on instructor observations, learner performance, and classroom experience.
Pre-class preparation, live instruction, scaffolded discussion, and post-class practice are designed as parts of the same curriculum—not disconnected worksheets and textbook chapters.
Questions parents ask
No. Playhouse welcomes complete beginners as well as children who already hear or understand some Turkish at home. Where your child starts is one of the things we learn about during the parent consultation.
Start with a conversation about your child.
Book a complimentary parent consultation. We'll design a personalized trial lesson, your child tries it, and only then does your family decide.
