The Turkmen language, as an east tribe of Oghuz Turkic, has been used today in Afganistan, Syria, Iraq, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan and Russia. The Turkmen language has many dialects such as Teke, Yomut, Ersarı, Salır. Particularly, The Turkmen grammar and literary works had been written mostly in Teke accent. A few grammar books written by foreigners are based on Teke accent, as well. People who are learning Turkmen language with books on Teke accent have difficulty understanding other Turkmen dialects. A Turkmen grammar book had been ready as a draft within the protocol in India University and this study were used by foreign students in 2015. At the end of the semester, students presented their problems about the book in reports. Parts of any grammar rules or phonology will be evaluated to see the parts in the book within these reports. In this study, our recommendations will be mentioned about the preparation of Turkmen language teaching materials to foreigners, topic flow and remarkable materials. One of the most difficult things preparing a Turkmen language book for foreigners is to teach Turkmen phonology and morphology. For example, adjective-verb, adverb-verb or suffixes are some initial difficulties to teach. It has been thinking that this study will be useful for materials and to be resource in teaching Turkish dialects to foreigners.
