Cheat sheet & tools

Pronunciation in 20 seconds
The six tricky letters
c = "j" in jam (acil = ah-JEEL) · ç = "ch" · ş = "sh" · ı (no dot) = the "uh" in open · i (dotted) = "ee" · ğ = silent, just stretches the vowel before it.
ö and ü
Like French deux and tu — your wife's French/Italian ear is a head start.
Stress
Usually the last syllable: mer-ha-BA, te-şek-kür-LER.
Four grammar Legos (all you need)
1 · "-(y)im" = I am
Turkish stacks suffixes like Lego: Kanadalı-yım = Canadian-I-am. Gazeteci-yim = journalist-I-am.
2 · "-di" = past tense
Slide in a di: Gazeteci-ydi-m = I was a journalist. One letter cluster, whole career change.
3 · var / yok = exists / doesn't
The power pair. Çay var mı? Is there tea? Yok. Nope. Possession too: İki çocuğum var = my two kids exist = I have two kids.
4 · "-da/-de" = in / at
Ankara'da = in Ankara. Amerika'da = in the US. That's the whole preposition system you need for now.
