Answer I can help you with a couple of them, but others involve such specific Swedish sounds that they're almost impossible to describe; you have to actually HEAR them.
GLAS is pronounced as the English word glass.
KAROTT is almost like the French carrotte, but with a rolling R.
These pages give you a nice introduction to Swedish pronounciation. I hope they can help you. If not, mail me again and I'll try to send you a couple of sound files. However, I'll be going on vacation now, so I'll not be available for about a month.
