Perhaps before you offer to teach someone English, you should demonstrate your ability to properly use capitalization and punctuation? Plus, there are penpal sites where you are much more likely to find someone from Japan to correspond with than here.

Firstly take note of what richvh-san said.

Secondly, what do you mean by "can't sound them out right"? Do you mean that you don't know how to correctly sound the syllables or that you don't know how to correctly pronounce Japanese words?

The Tokyo With Kids website has sound files for all of the hiragana characters here.

The About.com Japanese Language site has an audio phrase book that may help with your pronunciation of Japanese words and phrases.

Edit: You can download this zip file of the sounds.
