In Esperanto, what's the difference in the pronunciation of C and S? They sound the same to me... and, while I'm at it, how is ĵ properly pronounced?

C = ts, "jeTS", "leT'S" etc. Sounds almost "s" like at the start of a word, but still chuck in the T there for clarity, because for some strange reason "serte" (correctly, certe, "tserte") sounds really wrong, even if as an English speaker "ts" and "s" sound almost identical at the start of a word
S = just plain s. Nothing really special about 'im lango.gif

Jx = the french j/soft g sound. Or the "s" in Asia, essentially the same thing.
