I wouldn´t listen, to how the words are said in german, because I realized, that all electronic language programs, do this wrong. I am german, so if you want, I can help you with the language, for free of course! You can contact me under lisagi1987@yahoo.de Other Answer
You might want to try freetranslation.com to find out what your saying. Also if your looking to hear the pronunciation, you might want to try dictionary.com and listen to how the word is said in german. I hope that helps.
Forget websites and tuition schemes. The best way is to make conversation with a German speaker to get the general hang of things. Try to use German words and get to grips with the basics. If you're really adventerous, you can try German TV, radio or papers. You'll be suprised at what you recognise.
Don't worry about getting it wrong or that someone tells you it's said differently. I worked as a translator for a year and the number of arguments I'd have with other German speakers, because, just like in English, there's more than one way of saying things! I'd even get told my English was incorrect! As long as you can be understood, you'll be fine!
You'll find most Germans (except the older generation) are quite happy with English and would probably be grateful at the opportunity to practise their English and never let you get a chance to use your hard practised German.
How many times at work, as the only German speaker do I get asked to call Germany and when I'm asked where I'm calling from they insist on talking English - it's infuriating at times!
If I can help by conversation, I'm happy to try, just mail me.
