"NG", aka ŋ: say the words "king". When you get to the ng/nk you should feel the back of your tongue touch the top of your mouth. That's the "ng" sound, ŋ. Contrast this with the n sound of "no"--your tongue doesn't touch the top of your mouth and instead touches your teeth. The word "Angmar" should be pronounced "Aŋmar" with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth.

"Ngaurhoth": pronounced with an "ŋg". Make the ŋ sound, then immediately transition to a g sound.

O: Does not offglide--if you know Spanish it's pronounced like the Spanish o, as in "Yo"

Er: E in this is pronounced like e everywhere--the Spanish e sound. Think of it as a shortened version of A in "the letter A". Sindarin uses that sound more or less universally for e.

Kh: Pronounced like a K with very heavy exhaling. You're right, it should be mentioned.
