How do I practise words without a teacher?

Say them in sentences out loud and record yourself, then compare your recording with a dictionary's audio. A teacher's main contribution at this stage is feedback on pronunciation and on whether a sentence sounds natural, and a recording plus a free dictionary covers a surprising amount of that for the first month.

Say each word inside a sentence, record it, and compare with a dictionary's audio. The recording is doing the teacher's main job at this stage: telling you what you actually said rather than what you meant to say.
