Pronouncing prayer and prayer times?

Nowhere in Quran does it say that pronunciation matters. It's more important that you understand the meaning of what you are saying. Intention is everything. Remember, the point is to worship your creator. Don't get too caught up in the insignificant details. Focus on the worship. May God bless you.

Richy, check this thread here, it should have a few videos to help you Al-Fatiha

Learning another language can take time but that doesn't mean your not good at it. It just means you might take alittle longer or need to learn a different way don't accept what others tell you about you you know you best.

Now as far a learning your prayers I recommend a good combination of finding a recitation that is clear ( and that you don't mind listening to alot) and a good transliteration that you understand and tweak it for you understand
Ex. Bismillaah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem for me turns into
Bis-mil-laa-hir-rah-maa-nir-ra-heem
and then write,recite, and repeat until.......
for the the first month I read from a booklet when doing prayers.

you will learn at your own pace but like Aamer said
