I can manage to pronounce the words correctly but I will never be able to sound like a native for sure
I think I just found something good! You can try the App "TV5MONDE" it appears to be completely free even no ads and you can learn anything there through videos and exercises 
I will try it too as soon as I have time!
I don't really pay attention to the pronunciation guides cos for the most part I understand how it is for most words since I'm constantly listening to Japanese through music or anime
I see when I learn vocabulary, I try to pronounce it with the correct pitch accent so it will get stuck in my head correctly because I want my pronunciation/Intonation to be as good as possible
Yeah I get that, that's why I'm always trying hard to listen to Japanese 
It is I got complemented on my Japanese earlier today and then immediately flubbed the next sentence I need to listen to more Japanese and fix my sentence structures 
Yesterday I did 音読 (reading aloud) with my teacher and I tried to imitate her Intonation and I think it worked well
My mom was surprised when I told her that we are only talking japanese in the lesson and asked me how I learned to understand japanese
yeah honestly it's kinda crazy how quickly you get to understand Japanese after practicing I can understand most of what people say, or at least the conversations I pick up

But it's okay to make mistakes! Practice makes perfect

And you get better and better without even noticing I still have problems to follow when I'm listening something in japanese but I'm working on it!
I don't learn pitch accent bc I figure that's something I'll only actually be able to learn when I have Japanese input/output.
Do you know any French apps that just teach vocabulary basically? I wanted to learn French words but I didn't know what app to get. Once I talked to this French guy about French and he said there were like four types of French and stuff and the differenct kinds were used in different things, and he said that like French that has words from other languages is called polluted French or something weird like that 
You can use Anki You can download pre-made vocabulary lists there

If you hear it pronounced right enough times and keep saying it like that, I think it helps it to stick.
I think it is a little important because of things like "kiru" being either 着る or 切る depending on how you say it, but I think if you listen to Japanese podcasts/videos/music enough and try to talk like they do you will eventually be pretty close from that! Plus (I'm not Japanese so Idk for sure but) I think they can probably figure it out from context and still understand you even if you mess up the pitch accent
Exactly 
Japanese people probably would be able to tell from the context what you mean, if you get the accent wrong but I can imagine it can also cause confusion and misunderstanding For example if they ask: 嫌なことはある？ And you want to say: 花が嫌いんだよ… but you pronounce it like 鼻が嫌いんだよ
