The writing style written with Quranic letters, which Turks preferred after converting to Islam, has been forgotten as it was not generally used for a long time, and familiarity with this script has been partially lost. Our Turkish language, which is predominantly called Ottoman Turkish due to its use during the Ottoman period, has reached a point today where efforts are being made to learn it, and it is at least being taught as an elective course in schools.

This gratifying situation also makes the existence of study books for learning it essential. This work in your hands has been prepared both to serve as a means to learn Ottoman Turkish easily and to demonstrate through its exercises how easy it is to learn. In fact, the greatest difficulty in learning is the false idea that "learning Ottoman Turkish is difficult!"
