As an adjunct to this, by all means get yourself a copy of the IPA's CD. It does a pretty thorough job of pronouncing all the sounds (both by a man and a woman, if i recall). At least it can help with the "correct" pronunciations of each IPA sign; and unlike a native speaker, will _never_ get bored with saying the same sound over and over for you!
