Shanks has given a good introduction to sounds in Sanskrit and related Indian languages. Let me add some comments.
Set 1 nasal sound is something like, even stronger than, what Greek eta (`n' with the long tail :-)) sounds like in IPA.
Set 3 and Set 4 have been wrogly labelled. First comes `t' and then, `th' as in `thin'
The second sound in Set 5 is not `f'. I cannot find a way to express that, but the closest I can get is to say: Do the same thing one does to `k' in `loch' to `p'.
