Turkish as a bridge to Azeri - shortcuts summary
Hər kəsə salamlar, mənim adım Gui və azərbaycanca öğrənməyə çalışıram. Portuqalialıyam lakin Türkiyəde yaşayıram.

I believe Turkish and Azeri have many similarities and that it is possible to easily speak reasonably well the other language by making a few language tweaks. I would like to know if any of you has found any website or learning materials with a summary of these.

For example, Indiana University has shortcut for this - https://www.indiana.edu/~iaunrc/our_resources/bridge.shtml . but unfortunately I couldn't get access to it yet.

Cox sağol =)

Answer

Salam, Gui.
Çox şadam ki, azərbaycan dilini öyrənmək istəyirsən.

Here are some websites that I find useful:
http://uz-translations.su/?category=azeri (needs registration)
http://mylanguages.org/learn_azerbaijani.php
http://download.cnet.com/Polyglot-Azeri-Dictionaries/3000-2279_4-10448625.html

You're right, Azeri and Turkish have many similarities. But I have to warn you, sometimes it's more like a disadvantage, since with so many similarities it's not easy to remember the differences. E.g. unlike Turkish in Azeri one never wrights "sağol", only "sağ ol" :))). Wish you good luck!
