Can someone try and explain to me how to say three or third in Swedish?

It looks like the word for Three is Tre

Is that almost pronounced like tray in english?

Is there a different word for third or is it the same?

Thanks!

The 'r' is rolled, and the vowel is a bit shorter than the English 'tray'.

Mind you, I've only had four weeks of Swedish lessons, so YMMV

Third would be "tredje", as far as I can see. I don't really know how to
pronounce that.

Most people in Sweden seem to speak English fairly well. Why don't you
try that first?
