A good way to learn proper pronunciation in Sanskrit is to listen to the chanting of simple Sanskrit shlokas and learn to recite them and understand their meaning. Here is a link I came across today:

The meaning of simple shlokas might probably be found here:

I am on a mission to teach myself Sanskrit. I am so intrigued by the language, and ultimately my goal is to read and understand some spiritual texts without relying on someone else's interpretation, as well as to be able to follow along during puja.

ब्रह्मराजर्षिररत्नाढ्यां वन्दे भारतमातरम् ॥
To her whose feet are washed by the ocean, who wears the Himalayas as her crown, and is adorned with the gems of rishis and kings, to Mother India, do I bow down in respect.
