Turkish Resources (Comprehensive)

[boracasli98]

International streaming platforms: Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Apple TV, HBO Max, Paramount+ operate in Turkey and may offer additional Turkish language content, and Turkish audio/subtitle options in Turkey (or while using VPN outside of Turkey)

Hulu, Apple TV+, HBO Max and Paramount+ haven't got their broadcasting licence from the RTÜK yet, thus they don't operate in Turkey. The others you've mentioned do operate in Turkey.

I'll be adding much more media resources, so:

TRT İzle - The official streaming platform by the TRT, the national broadcaster of Turkey. On-demand content require you an account in order to be watched, live streams for sport channels are always geoblocked. TRT1 is geoblocked only when sport events are broadcast. TRT2 is geoblocked outside of Turkey most of the time. TRT Belgesel also gets geoblocked from time to time.

As far as I know, private channels broadcasting "dizi" and content of foreign origin are generally geoblocked to users outside Turkey, or they will broadcast the channels intended for Turks abroad, mainly Europe.

Thank you for the correction, I fixed the original post. Just to double check, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime are all ok?

Does using VPN solve the geoblocking issues for TRT İzle?

Yes, they're all okay.

Does using VPN solve the geoblocking issues for TRT İzle?

I'm completely unsure about it. I don't use a Turkish VPN since I'm already in Turkey. All of these are my experiences while using VPNs from other countries meanwhile in Turkey.

Okay, here's the rest, I think that's all. [...]

Thank you again for your contributions! The other languages sections looks mighty now

Another great (imho) app/course is Mango Languages. They only have 68 lessons, which is on the low end for their courses. On average they have 80-100 lessons, with the most comprehensive courses 500+, e.g. Spanish, French, Levantine Arabic etc.
