Turkish pronunciation
Merhaba!
I'm interested in Turkish and I have a book with audio.
In general, Turkish pronunciation isn't difficult, nevertheless I'm confused with some sounds.
For example, phrases like "iyi günler" and "iyi aşkamlar" a man on audio files pronounces like "iyi günleSH" and "iyi aşkamlaSH". So must R sound like SH in the end of the word?

... and, a little correction: "iyi aşkamlar" --> "iyi akşamlar"

No, that never happens. The recording device they used must be low quality :) They're the normal r in Turkish.

Yeah, I heard that SH sound before in an audio and drama, too; I got confused but thought there might be accents in Turkish make some little sound changes or something.

I downloaded a book Türkçe öğrenelim 1 with audio written by Dr. Mehmet Hengirmen. I found it on russian website www.twirpx.com.
But Google translator also can pronounce phrases and I hear SH sound, although I listen to Turkish music and always hear R.

No. None of the letters are pronounced like any other letter. R is always pronounced R.
Could you give the link where you heard "iyi akşamlaSH"??
