Is it true that it's also correct to pronounce this word with voiceless 'h' [meraba]?

Just as a nitpick, h is voiceless. You mean silent (i.e. not said at all)

does turkish have semivowels (I think that's what they are called). by semivowel I mean "er" "ir" "or" "ur" in English where you wouldn't say "eh-r" but rather a sort of different sound that is like the Nordic "ø"
Nope, vowels keep there full sound. This is actually a common mistake made by English speakers while speaking Turkish. Turks can't understand it when we say "Bursa" :D

I don't think "r" is ever silent in Turkish. In Turkish, it is a soft "r", almost like the American "r". I think the robot's pronunciation sounds like the French "r" to you because of the fricative "h" that follows it but it really shouldn't.
Why are there no moduls in this course teaching the words for body parts, ie. Hands, face, arms,legs etc?
