I just took my 2nd on-line tutor session, and I feel completely overwhelmed. I'm a native English speaker and speak intermediate Spanish. I first started learning Spanish in high school over 30 years ago. We had formal classroom instruction every day for the entire school year. It gave me a solid base for pronunciation and grammar so that when I picked it back up 30 years later, I wasn't starting from square one.

I'm struggling with German pronunciation, and only have 1 hour of formal instruction per week. Because I can't easily pronounce words, it's hard to memorize vocabulary. I've tried watching grammar videos, but my lack of vocabulary hinders me. I guess I'm just looking for tips on how to improve pronunciation and build vocabulary.
