Who are we?

We provide fun, interactive online Turkish lessons to children of expatriate families.

Roots&Talks is recognized as one of the world's first child-focused Turkish language and culture education platforms and was founded by Gamze Beyaz. Introduced to the public in 2021 as Starlykid, this innovative initiative initially aimed to teach Turkish to immigrant Turkish children living abroad in an enjoyable way.

Over time, Roots&Talks has evolved and expanded into a global language school, dividing into various educational stages aimed at developing both the language skills and cultural awareness of children. This platform enables children to learn Turkish and explore Turkey's rich cultural heritage, thus broadening their worldview. In this way, the learning process involves not only language acquisition but also personal development and cultural awareness.

At Roots&Talks, each lesson is designed to captivate children's interest. Developed by expert educators, Roots&Talks' teaching method allows children to learn at their own pace and according to their interests. This individualized approach enables each child to experience their own unique journey, discovering their mother tongue in their style. Thus, Roots&Talks contributes to the growth of children as global citizens who recognize their roots.


Mission

To provide an enjoyable, effective, and accessible learning experience for children living abroad to lovingly learn the Turkish language and strengthen their connections with their roots.


Vision

To enable Turkish children living abroad to recognize and protect their own identities, building strong bridges between different cultures, and growing up as confident global citizens.
