Why guess Turkish pronunciation?

Turkish is highly phonetic, but vowel harmony, the soft g (ğ), and the dotless ı behave in ways that surprise speakers of other languages. IPA confirms the vowels and the lengthening that ğ produces.

Vowel harmony makes suffix vowels match the vowels in the stem.
The soft g (ğ) is rarely a consonant of its own — it usually lengthens the preceding vowel.
Turkish distinguishes the dotted i and dotless ı as two different vowels.
Spelling is otherwise close to one-letter-one-sound, so Turkish IPA is fairly transparent.
