Is there language software or a program where you learn to understand first before pronunciation drills?

I want to learn Spanish, but I just hate trying to pronounce the words. The way I think it seems that if I understand the words, and what they sound like then that's 80 percent of the battle. Then I can learn to pronounce words. Learn to understand first, then speak later. Perhaps I'm wrong, I'm no language expert, but I am mainly interested in understanding, not speaking.

Actually all the methods I think don't work that well that I know of. I think the best way is by watching movies, drama, and comedy, because your mind remembers things by association with emotions, and when you are pumping adrenalin you tend to remember more.
