It's a fairly common recommendation to start with the alphabet and sounds right off the bat so that you have a good idea of how words are pronounced when you see them. Then it'll be easier to recognize them when you hear them.

The sounds page at https://tirea.learnnavi.org/?p=sounds has a playable list of the letters, that uses the canon names of the letters as example syllables for their pronunciations.

(I really think the Na'vi alphabet letter names are highly underrated. They basically contain the syllable rules, which is handy for if you ever want to make a name or a loan word.)

Also, Paul Frommer, who created the language is featured on our YouTube channel going over these letters and sounds here: https://youtu.be/goxi2Vejrks The handout that follows this video can be found here: http://naviteri.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Navi-101-handout.pdf

All the words on our vocabulary page (https://learnnavi.org/navi-vocabulary) have audio that plays when you click the word :)

EDIT: Also, there is a Na'vi Alphabet Song as well, here on the forum:

Kaltxì, ulte zola'u nìprrte'!  Hello, and welcome!

My best advice is to find a Na'vi grammar guide that works for you, and as soon as you are able to, start writing.

In other words, use the language as much as possible, and don't worry about not being perfect.  We'll help!   :D
