I have found on in.answers.yahoo several posters who have suggested what the proper Hindu prayers are. As someone who does not know Sanskrit (though I speak Hindi), I would like to find a source -- preferably online--where I might be able to both learn more about prayers and hear recordings so that I can correctly recite them.

The best site is

Please email me at pklamba231@yahoo.com and advise me which kind of shlokas/prayers you are interested more. I will try to give you addresses of matching websites. I also take interest in reading/reciting and listening simultaneously.

If you can follow the symbols signifying correct production of each of the syllables of various words in a typical English Dictionary style, then you may buy any good English Translation of the Verses you want to learn. For eg. Bhagavadgita as it is published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust and also the most popular Gitapress Gorakhpur's English Editions can give you a fairly good idea about pronounciations.
You may even buy Audio CDs and Cassettes an the prayers you are keen to learn, I am sure they must be very common Sanskrit Prayers if they are put up on the net too.
And lastly, if you know how to speak in Hindi and have some idea about halants, bindus and chandrabindus and their pronounciations then you may very well be able to learnt them.
Bhagavan aapki manokamana purna karen.
