I'm a Spanish speaker that is afraid of French. I cannot make any of those sounds.

What helped me was Michael Thomas's method for learning French. I literally played the CD once back in college and most of it stuck because the grammar is similar to Spanish and he makes it easy to learn. French vocabulary is a bit of a guessing game but it's easier once you get the hang of it. You should give it a try, it only takes like a couple of days of passive listening.
