:sl: Bro
The Quran is only Quran when it is written/recited in Arabic. When it is translated then its the 'translation of the Quran'. There is also the Transliteration form which is meant to assist you in reciting it in Arabic.
So you will need to learn how to read the Quran in arabic In Shaa Allah. It is not very hard, you will just have to put in some time and effort, and you'll be rewarded by Allah :swt: for your efforts.
In the mean time, you can read the Transliteration and the translation. You should first try, if you haven't already, to Memorize the Fatiha, first chapter, and some of the short Surahs in the end of the Quran. You'll need to use these in your Salah.
Yes it is okay to listen to it, you can combine all three, listening to it so that you can master the proper Tajwed and pronunciation, plus reading the Transliteration and Translations will also help you in your reading and memorization In Shaa Allah.
Ps. If you need any further help, you can continue to post any questions you have in this section.
May Allah :swt: make it easy for you and assist you in your journey. Ameen ya Rabb!!
Allah :swt: knows best.
