I like the IPA Chart website [0] which lists the phonemes and has examples of each when clicked. To understand a pronunciation (such as /ɪg.drə.sɪl/ for Yggdrasil), I'll match up the symbols to the chart and piece it together from the sample sounds.
Sidenote: I had a bit of trouble locating an IPA transcription for Yggdrasil. The pronunciation guide in the Wikipedia article for Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X is not IPA, it's using English pronunciation rules to try to emulate the correct pronunciation. The pronunciation in dictionaries (at least Merriam Webster) is also not quite IPA, though it is close. I came up with this pronunciation by merging those sources. I is probably correct, as I found a matching transcription in an old version of the Yggdrasil Wikipedia article which was removed for being original research.
