As much as possible, I tried to match the sounds to their corresponding English equivalent. Here are a few that are not as obvious:
Kh - Greek X, scottish ch. The sound comes from the back of the mouth, the throat rather than the front as in English ch.
oh - Greek omega. This is a long and round O.
eh - Greek eta.
ei - like "eye"
eu - a dipthong. Try saying eh-oo quickly. This is not pronounced like "you".
dj - Egyptian dj, as djet. similar to English tch as in watch.
