Turkish is generally quite easy to pronounce, mainly because unlike English, words are said just as they are written and every letter (with the exception of - 'Ğ') are pronounced. The unfamiliar letters are pronounced as follows:
ç - 'ch' (as in 'church')
c - 'j' (as in jealous)
g - silent but lengthens the vowel before
ı - 'uh' (as in but)
ö - 'er' (as in burn)
ş - 'sh' (as it shut)
