I'll give you a few examples;
let's take 'I learned';
I learned=Ben ogrendim
I was to learn=Ben ogrenmis oldum
I wanted to learn=Ben ogrenmek istedim/ben ogrenecektim(i was supposed to be learning)
I am learning=Ben ogreniyorum
I will learn=Ben ogrenecegim
I was learning=Ben ogreniniyordum
can you get it from this or would you like more info?

This is Turkish. You should not find something equivalent which is hundred percent same as other language.
In Turkish, there are two different past forms, one of them is story past, the other is rumor past. They are not related to the exact past and perfect tenses of English.
In my humble opinion, before starting a foreign language, you should get clear of the rules of your native language (or which you use most). Just try to feel the meaning, do not try to find the exact equivalents. Probably you can't find either.

Yes these two tenses seem same in Turkish grammar but how about meaning?
If you want to give a present perfect meaning,what can you do?
You can express the meaning thanks to the time expressions, for example:
O duvarı dün boyadım: I painted that wall yesterday.
O duvarı henüz boyadım: I have just painted that wall.
In addition to this,how about past perfect?
Many interpreters translate the past perfect tense into Turkish as -miş'li geçmiş zaman:
O duvarı boyamıştım : I had painted that wall.
