You don't need a finished course to start practicing Turkish's core mechanics — a few simple, self-directed exercises build real intuition for its most distinctive features.
Take a list of Turkish root words and, for each one, identify whether its vowels are front or back — then check your answer. Doing this repeatedly builds the pattern recognition vowel harmony depends on faster than memorizing the rule as prose.
Starting from a simple root (like ev, "house"), practice adding one suffix at a time — plural, possessive, then case — and say the result aloud after each step. This mirrors exactly how agglutination actually builds meaning.
Find short native audio clips (news headlines, simple dialogue) and listen to the same short clip multiple times in a row before moving to the next — repeated exposure trains your ear for vowel harmony and stress patterns more effectively than a single pass through a lot of material.

Repeated exposure to the same short clip trains your ear on specific sound patterns (vowel harmony, stress) more effectively than a single pass through unfamiliar material.
That's the plan — practice modes similar to the vocabulary, listening, and matching exercises already in Tarc's Arabic and Latvian courses.
