I'mHomeAtLast

Salamu alaykum, brothers and sisters.
I'm a new muslimah. I said my shahada 9 months ago. I'm not ashamed to share with you that I am struggling...especially now during Ramadan.
I am so proud and relieved to be home in Islam. I am doing my best to pray correctly. My language is English, not Arabic.
My main struggle is praying correctly and understanding what is being said. My goal, of course, is to be able to recite the prayers correctly and ultimately in Arabic.
Right now at the masjid, I follow along and pray what I know, which is, honestly, very lacking.
I was wondering if anyone knows of the existance of something that I can listen to, repeat (slowly) and practice over and over until I get it.
I am so grateful for any help or guidance on this subject. I am anxious and a little panicked about not improving my prayers. I know I can do better and I want to do better.
Thank you all in advance
I feel so sad duirng Ramadan. I am all by myself. I have no family. And I watch others enjoying the company of their families and friends. I should not feel sorry for myself, I know. I don't know how to enjoy this time. I am profoundly lonely during Ramadan. Thank you for listening.
