I found very difficult talking in turkish. For example, I can't properly the "ı".
What is worst for native speakers? Listening to "Nasilsin" or "Nasulsun"?

If you click on the little play arrow in the online dictionary it will give you the pronunciation.

Thanks guys! I could listening the proper way, but the problem is in my tongue, not my ear!

So, I can say only i or u. But I wondered how doesit sounds to a native speaker.

The problem is not in your tongue, since we all have the same tongue. So it's anatomically possible to make those sounds, just you do not know how to use your tongue to make that sound. Maybe, someone should tell you lively how to do.

Actually you don't use your tongue for "ı" You should use your throat to sound it, like other vowels.

You can try this: Start making sound of thinking Hmmmmmmmm.. then open your mouth and throat. There it is, ııııııııı It's funny but working
