You should look at the website of the German cultural institute, the Goethe Institut. They have an English website on which they offer various online audio and reading materials. As far as I know they are for free.

Also, you could try Deutsche Welle Radio which is the international German language broadcasting service, available all over the world. They also have language learning materials.

Somebody here said that it is difficult to pronounce German. I strongly disagree. German is one of the easiest languages in terms of transferring written words into spoken languages. Contrary to English the sounds in German alway sound the same. An A is an /a/, no matter what. So you can theoretically pronounce all German words from day 1 - except maybe for those sounds that you haven't got from your own native language. (R and CH are typical examples). However, with the audio material so widely available on the net you should be able to master that.
Good luck and happy learning...

Not sure about learning, but once you've learned a bit this site is an excellent online dictionary.

No idea. Germany has words that you cannot pronounce unless somebody pronounce them to you. I have a on-line student am teaching Germany but it's not that simple.
