I think i should rather make a record of these or something..it's a bit difficult to explain 
Like I mentioned before it's all about three sounds which soud to me almost identical
like =
ح خ ه they all like "h"
very difficult especially if Russian and my own Kazak recognises only one "h".
ه is like english h in heat
ح is a hard h. try "closing" your throat and saying h
خ is like a kh sound.. it's like german ch or spanish j, but a bit harder i think.
like =
ذ ظ ض
to me when people say them they sound like interdentals in English "th" in "those"
ذ is like english th in that or those
ض is hmm like a dental d i guess. a bit harder than ذ
ظ and this is very hard ذ
confusing pairs or couples of identicals like
س ص to me they all sound like "s"
I think that the 'thing' is mainly with pronunciation of the following vowels.
See
سَ = sa
صَ = sa
but
the a in سَ is like the english a in cat
and the a in صَ like russian a. get it? same thing happens with some other consonants too-

Note that when 'a' is followed by an emphatic consonant (ض ص ق خ ح ط ظ), it is pronunced in the back of your mouth, and is similar to British a in father.

ت ط to me they all sound like "t"
t has a little puff of air, nearly like t-h while ط doesn't and is very hard. practise it by pressing your tongue against your upper teeth.
د ض sound like "d"
If dad is regarded to be not interdental "th" it is often heard as another form of "d", but there is already one "d"
د is like english d
ض is softer than د , like hmm dental? but not ذ.
