Or should I just pay to take some classes?

Rosetta Stone is the BEST! They throw you RIGHT into it! And you actually learn! I wanted to learn Italian, and the demo CD-ROM they sent had me speaking Spanish, Italian, even Farsi! Down side: it's about $400 for the level 1 set, but I think well worth it.
PS it HAS a feature to correct pronunciation and cadence, etc. Even teaches some grammar I think.

Prentice Hall's Chinese Link by Wu. Link:
www.prenhall.com/chineselink Complete with free audio files to go with the text and online exercises. Worth your while to take a look.
