This already exists in the lessons section, but it fits the subject;

Turkish alphabet contains 29 letters. (8 vowels and 21 consonants) There are 6 different letters which are " ç, ğ, ş" from consonants and "ı, ö, ü" from vowels. (q, w, x don´t appear in turkish. )Their pronunciation is like these=

 

ç= CHurch

ğ= fRüschtück (This is a german word (meaning breakfast), I don´t know any word pronunciated with "ğ" in english, so I gave example from german, I hope it helps )

ş= SHip 

 

ı= mothEr

ö= gIrl

ü= its pronunciation is like the vowel part in british english saying of "yOU", but again the german example "frÜschtÜck" contains this sound, too. 

 

*Turkish is a language whose words are pronunciated how they´re written. 

**There´s no word beginning with "ğ" in Turkish.

 

Good luck learnerrss.
