So basically Fea, you're screwed unless you can get an audio version of how these thigs are supposed to be said.

But we can't let you to be "screwed", now can we? From Ardalambion:
"H is pronounced [x] (German ach-Laut) before t, unless this combination ht is preceded by one of the vowels e or i, in which case h is sounded like German ich-Laut. Otherwise, h may be pronounced like English h; the digraphs hy and hw however represent ich-Laut and unvoiced w (like American English wh), respectively. The combinations hl and hr originally represented unvoiced l, r, but by the Third Age, these sounds had come to be pronounced like normal l and r. "
And some audio samples for the assiduous student.
Examples: thúle (archaic), silme, formen, halla, aha, Mahtan, tehta, hyarmen, hwesta
ps. Lhuna and I are moving on to the exercises of lesson 2. We're catching up!
