Probably not, as German pronounciation is extremely logical. If you learn the rules, you can pronounce everything. For samples of German, listen to net radio or TV.

Through my experience, I have learned that German pronunciation is not as straightforward as let's say...Spanish.

When reading a German word like "tochter," I don't know whether to voice the r at the end or not. In some recordings, they second syllable is an unstressed e sound, but that is contradictory to the rules because you're supposed to voice the r. For example...

"bitte" has an unstressed e sound.
"bitter" is supposed to have a voiced r to distinguish it from "bitte."

So I don't know when to voice the r and when to not voice the r.

And I also have problems with stress. In multisyllabic words, where does the stress fall? In spanish, there are concrete rules of placing stress, but in German, I have not come across any rules.

Can someone please help? Maybe direct me to a link where they have an in-depth analysis of German pronunciation?

German doesn't need such a lexicon,you read what it is written.
No problem with spelling and pronounciation as in french and english!
