Summary
Listen to the pronunciation of the words and repeat each word aloud several times until you can easily pronounce them. Try to imitate the native speaker's pronunciation and intonation.

For the ease of pronunciation and fluency, the word و (and) is pronounced as oh in such numbers, for example:
