General Comment:
I am an English speaker, and I cannot here the spoken difference between ler and lar. Yer sounds to me like yar. Is it my ear, or is something else? Do native Turkish speakers hear a difference?

Lehr (somewhat like 'lair') and lahr. I'm a native English speaker too, just try until you get it! They sound quite distinct to my ear.

That's because the way of pronouncing E after L is somewhat "relaxed"...not lEr but l'aar. Very soft actually. You can hear it in Teşekkürler, iyi günler etc. Hope that would help

There is no way to tell between specific and general subjects in Turkish :)

The -i ending is definite, so only for "the."
