Can anyone help me learn how to pronounce such (unstressed) endings of words? I use a textbook but it doesn't say how to pronounce such words. :(

You can try to use the google translator.
Oh that's really nice! To my ears though, -яя and -ее sound pretty much the same. :D Guess I'll have to listen to it a couple of 100 times.
Yes, maybe you should add -ие into the mix. осенние, for example.
It might help. Also, perhaps listening to songs could be helpful and more fun.

Wow, thanks for all the videos! Really helpful :) Would осенние sound different then осеннее?
Yeah I feel like the unstressed endings sound very identical. Same with -oe -ая endings when unstressed. I guess it's just a matter of practice and listening.
They are all different, this is what endings are good for .
May be you will want to hear some clips with the media player able to slow down videos, VLC for example.
Loud and clear pronounciation makes sense to get a better feeling for it. I might record myself a couple of times and post it here. Maybe someone can then tell me how far off my pronounciation still is :)
осеннее as-sen-n'i-ji
осенние as-sen-n'i-ji
осеннии as-sen-ni-i
осенняя as-sen-n'uh-juh
я
This is how i imagine saying it. -ие -ее the same, whereas the -ии wouldn't have the Y-sound for the last vowel. And the -яя would be the schwa sound of fathEr, with the last vowel a Y-sound to it.
