I'm not here to teach you 
Turkish, but to ask a (tricky) question about it, so pay attention :
Here are some Turkish words and their English translations. The Turkish words are all formed by a stem and an ending (or suffix); for instance, ikbalsiz consists of ikbal- followed by -siz.
Pronunciation notes:

So good luck!

| ikbalsiz isimsiz sonsuz takatsiz sütsüz parasız | unsuccessful nameless endless lacking strength lacking milk cashless |
Pronunciation notes:
- e, i are like in pet, pit, with the lips spread.
- ö and ü are like e and i, but with the lips rounded.
- o and u are like pot and put, with the lips rounded.
- a and ı (NB: no dot) are like o and u, but with the lips spread.
Questions:
- Two of the above words are exceptions because they are loanwords from another language, and so don’t follow the same rules that the other words follow. Which two words are they?
- What rules determine how the vowels in these suffixes vary from word to word?
- Here are two more Turkish words: dil (language), kalıp (form, shape). How would you translate (a) mute (b) shapeless?
So good luck!

ACCENTS:
´ (open vowel) - marks stressed syllable
^ (mid open vowel) - marks stressed syllable
~ (nasal vowel)
`(crasis)
Pronunciation:
a (can be like cat or but)
e (can be like get, they, machine or rogue) the latter is more similar to french "e" sound, but not exactly
i and í (like bleed)
o (like god, saw, roof)
u and ú (like lagoon) in certain Azores islands the stressed u is like french "u"
à and á (like bad)
â (like dust)
é (like bread)
ê (like they)
ó (like shot)
ô (like caught)
ã and õ (are nasal vowels, think of french "un" and "on")
an,am,en,em,in,im,on,om,un,um (are nasal vowels if in the same syllable)
à marks crasis, merger of "a" with another vowel, so "a + aquele = àquele, this is obligatory to merge)
it can only happen with "a", although sometimes "o" in cases like "para + o = prò, informal and not obligatory to merge)
There are many dipthongs, but the main ones are:
ai (like hide)
ei (like say, but lower)
éi (like say, but stronger "é")
oi (like noise, sometimes like "ói")
ói (like Deutschland)
ui (like "oo" + "y")
au (like now)
eu (like "ê" + "w")
éu (like "é" + "w)
iu (like few)
ou (like snow)
ão (nasal a + w)
õe (nasal o + y)
CONSONANTS
b,f,k,m,n,p,q,t,v,w,y,z (same as english)
B (mostly like "b", although between vowels it has softer sound)
C (like "k" before a,o,u; like "s" before e and i)
D (like "d", but between vowels you will sometimes hear "th" as in "the")
G (like "g" before a,o,u; like "zh" before e and i, as in Asia)
H (silent always, unless if after c,l,n, where it forms a special sound)
J (like french "j")
L (like english "l", but at end of syllables its becomes velarized)
R (has 2 main sounds: single R is like letter or like spanish single "r" (parar), double R, initial R or R after "n" or "l" (rua, correr, enrolar, alredor) is like french "r" - but you can also hear it like spanish double "r" in some regions, and also like spanish "j" or german "ch" in some areas). Its a messy letter for sure
S (like english "S" at beginning (sapo) or after consonant (bolso), like "z" between vowels (mesa), like "sh" before voiced consonants (estrada, like "zh" before voiceless consonants (mesmo)
X (like "sh" at beginning and sometimes in middle of words (xaile) (mexer), like "ks" in the middle or end (táxi) (tórax), like "z" in the prefix "ex+vowel (exame), like "s" in some words also (próximo)) another messy letter with few rules
Z (like english "z" at beginning and middle (zebra) (dizer), like "sh" at the end (feliz)).
Sometimes the letter "C" and "P" can be silent (they opened the preceding vowel) - although they have recently been removed by the new orthography agreement, most portuguese people, including myself, still write the way they learnt. So baptismo is now batismo, correcção is now correção.
CH (like "sh) cheio - full
NH (like french "gn", sort of "ny" sound) lenha - wood
LH (like italian "gl", sort of "ly" sound) alho - garlic
Ç (like "s", only used before a,o,u) açúcar - sugar
RR (like french "r" or spanish "j", only between vowels) berrar - yell
SS (like "s", only between vowels) massa - pasta
all other possible digraphs produce no special sounds.
K,W,Y - used in foreign words that have been adopted into the language: kiwi; whisky; windsurf; kart; kartódromo; skate; skatar; sexy; yoga; show; look; ranking; marketing; vodka; stock; software; spray; derby; burka; viking; jukebox; poker; Kuwait; Kosovo; Kiev; Seychelles; Malawi; Lyon; Washington; etc...

Some irregular plurals are some words ending in "s" or "x" that dont change.
The word "qualquer" (whichever) that has internal plural transformation into "quaisquer".
Plural is harder to teach in compound words like "guarda-chuva" (umbrella), in this case it becomes "guarda-chuvas"; "flor-de-lis" becomes "flores-de-lis".

Do any Russian/ Slavic languages speakers out there have any tips for learning Cyrillic cursive? I'm studying Russian at school, and my professor insists that we learn cursive. But to me, all the letters look the same! Especially the cursive forms of:
Т И Л Щ Ш Ц М
Т И Л Щ Ш Ц М
