Can you tell me how to pronounce these French words?

For example, you could me how to pronounce them by typing out the sounds, like if I were to tell you how to pronounce a Spanish word, I would say:

Hola - oh-lah

"oh-lah" is the pronunctiation sounds.

Here are the words:

Seulement -

j'espère -

pourras egalement-

Viens -

Connais-

I think I know some of them, but I want to make sure. Thank you, merci!

Not very easy to answer you,

Here is a beginning :

Seulement :
Se : like in answer but without the r
le : L + always the same : the e is like the e in answer
ment : m + an (like an in answer but without pronouncing the n)

A little more...

j'espère
j'es = gesture (but the G is soft)
père = pair

viens = vee-and (like in "and", but without pronouncing the "d" or the "n")

The last ones...

pourras: poor-ra

également:
e = elephant
ga = galion
le : L + e is like in answer
ment : m + an (like in answer but without pronouncing the n)

connais:
co = copy
nnais = Nessie

I think that it would be better if a native kindly records this. Describing sounds can't always be a success.
