Here's another turkish to english pronunciation. I do these tricks to help with pronouncing the turkish phrases quickly without tripping over my tongue!
Yakinda gorusmek uzere (See you soon!)
Ya couldnt I goo do shmeck use odd uh
For english speakers...if you say these words quickly, they are in tempo to the turkish phrase (as spoken by a flash card program speaker) Notice the d or soft t pronunciation for the turkish 'r' in the phrase. Because there is a roll of the tongue which we dont usually do with our r's. I hope this 'trick' helps others.

Ey Teresa, when I read your post I was so glad my mother tongue is not english! It must be really difficult for you to learn to read Turkish and to produce the sounds. I just realized this with your post. For me as a german native speaker it is quite easy to speak turkish, I think. The only difficulty is ı, the other sounds we have them all quite the same. I just had to learn to read ş(sch), ç(tsch), c(dsch), nothing more!
The only thing that İ am struggling with now is the stressing of syllables... İ know it is not done as strongly as in other languages. But if anybody could give me some explanation...?

This word is nearly impossible for me to say:
başardılı ... from the tc dictionary it sounds like:
ba shardle uh
...that's as close as I can to pronouncing it
but then...how would I pronounce başardıliydı ?

Quoting TeresaJana: başardılı |
there is no such word. Delete the "d"
Quoting TeresaJana: This word is nearly impossible for me to say: |
You are lucky not to pronounce only one word.
There are so many words in English that I cannot say.

So you have a problem with "ı".
How 'bout following chains?
sıkıştırılmışlık
sıkıntılısını mı?
kılıbıklık
ısıtılmışlık
ılıştırılmışlık
kışkırttırılmışlık
etc

the "ı" in Turkish alphabet is like the vowel sounds in the last syllabels of these English words: "financial" or "pocket".
hope this helps.
