It is best to listen to Korean to understand how it sounds.
Trying to equate it to English letters is very confusing. In English, one letter can make many different sounds.
Listen to Korean as often as you can.
Practice.

ㅅ before ㅑ,ㅒ,ㅕ,ㅖ,ㅛ,ㅠ,ㅣ sounds like "shhhh"
Otherwise it sounds like a very soft, gentle "ssssss" (like a snake, but don't hiss)
The "zzzzz" sound (buzzing like a bee) does not exist in Korean.
ㅉ is a hard sound that sounds a bit like "zzzhhh".
