German ö = Norwegian ø = French e. The best way to pronounce this sound is by rounding your lips to say "o" but instead try to say "i (indonesian i)."

The "r" in French and in German is trilled in the back of the throat and sounds very similar to the Arabic letter "ghayn."

The Italian "gli" is pronounced by positioning your tongue to make the "L" sound, but deliberately letting air escape both sides of the tongue. So the "g" sounds silent.

The "ll" in European Spanish sounds like an English "y" as in "yet" or it can also sound like English "j" in "jump."

Some of these answers are redundant, I know, but for me it helps to see different ways to get te big picture.

Spanish ll similar to y, can be like zh in some dialects
Example bella - pronounce as beya or bezha

Italian gl g is silent, pronounce like l
Example Tagliaferro pronounce as taliaferro

Ö (umlaut) sort of like 'er'
Example Köln purse the lips, tongue forward, Ke(r)ln

Ø very similar to German Ö
Similar to German...Jødestad is Ye(r)destad

S in English very much like Z
Pronounce as plezure

Quite difficult to write unless you are familiar with the IPA phonetic alphabet.

Sp. ll -like y, but somehow harder; it sometimes sounds almost like 'dy'
It. gl - a liquid 'ly' sound
Fr. r - usually made in the back of the throat; in the south, sometimes like a Sp. or It 'r'
Ger. ö and Nor. ø - like er, but with the lips more rounded
Eng. s as in pleasure - if you know the French sound 'je', that's it. Alternatively, it's like the name John but without the initial 'd' sound
