Downloadable textbooks
The Books section has been updated today. The updates include links to two Kyrgyz textbooks that can be downloaded from the ERIC website.
Downloadable textbooks are wonderful news. However, Kato Lomb, whose book I am now reading, proves that languages can be learned with very few resources at hand.
By the way, I am halfway through Lomb's book on language learning. I will share my impressions in the next post.

MK: You might also find it helpful to get books about learning Turkish. Even if you can't find books, there is a lot of material about Turkish online.
My fiancee (who is Turkish) and I are planning a trip through Kyrgyzstan next summer, which is why I happened upon your blog. I've taught myself a lot of Turkish, and looking at the Peace Corps text about Kyrgyz, I can see very heavy similarity -- especially in basic grammar and vocabulary.
Perhaps you might check out

for some basics, and

for a good online dictionary.

Hello,
We found this blog by chance and we take the liberty to ask you something : Do you currently still live in Kirghizstan?
Indeed, we are planning to go and visit this country during next summer and we would like to know if you could give us some advises!
Thanks for your answer

Hi again and thanks for you message. Actually, the more we get info on Kirghizstan, the more we want to go there!
We will probably go there in Summer next year and therefore, we will have time to learn a few word thanks to your blog
Cheers from Madrid

Okay, your dedication to learning this language makes me inspired to really buckle down and learn Moroccan. Must, must do it.

Hi there,
I'm a peace corps volunteer who just returned two days ago from two years and three months living in Talas Oblast. I studied Kyrgyz the whole time I was there, and I'm interested in contributing to the wiki-dictionary you're working on (I've made a few contributions today and yesterday, as you may have noticed). If you're interested in collaborating or just talking, it could be fun, just respond to this comment and maybe we can think of a way to safely exchange e-mail addresses/ other info.

Hello,
I'm a participant in a game here in the US called "World Without Oil" (worldwithoutoil.org), which is a game asking us to imagine what the world would be like if there was an oil crash. One of the obstacles placed in our path is a YouTube video, part of which happens to be in Krygyz. Since native speakers are hard to come by, I thought I might ask for your help in translating. The link is:

Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to give!
