While I am not certain, I'm thinking about studying Turkish from scratch. It's a language that I have wanted to learn for a long time, and I have two friends where I moved who are native Turkish speakers, so I think now would be a good time to begin.
Does anyone have any advice for resources I could use?
FSI and wikibooks have programs, but aside from that I'm not sure where else I should look.
Also, if I were to study Turkish for an hour a day until the middle of July. What would be a reasonable goal? Would basic conversational skills, and the ability to read newspapers in Turkish be achievable given such a timeline?

Re: Turkish language resources?
While I have not studied the Turkish language and have no intention of doing so, it seems that I bookmarked a number of discussion threads with which you may wish to familiarize yourself. In addition, from my not-so-reliable memory, I believe that the resident experts on the language are Daristani and Chung.
