For pronounciation of just single words, our own TC dictionary can oblige 
Just click on the "play" symbol under where it says English-Turkish in the dictionary

This isn't a website, but the Pimsleur CD's are very helpful. You can purchase them on Amazon.

I don't know if you are familiar to the Spanish "v". Some of my friends whose native language is Spanish, said that Turkish "v"s are generally like you pronounce nothing. Actually, it is not "nothing" for me but Turkish "v" is very light, as if it wasn't pronounced. I mean, v isn't pronounced strongly like "w" or "v" in English.
Even in chat messages, you can see that Turks write "eet" for "evet" (=yes). Because this "v" in evet is like it isn't pronounced. But sure it is there for a Turk and easy to hear it.

There is no such thing as a "Spanish V", Spanish lacks the V sound, V must be pronounced like B, this merger known as betacism has been present in Spanish since centuries ago.
Turkish V normally sounds like an English W, but somewhat lighter, from what I've seen it's very close to the Dutch W in fact.

That depends on what dutch word though.. I would say it is even ligher than our W.
