As many of you know, in addition to Turkish Tea Time, I also make a learning app called CleverDeck.

I just released a huge update to that app. If you need a good way to learn lots of Turkish words in a really efficient and fun way (and have an iPhone or iPad), check it out.

Çok teşekkür ederim,
Justin
