comment How to master pronunciation
Other than that I listen to podcasts about scepticism, media and internet culture/politics. Unfortunately for you, the best story-telling podcast I know (the Moth) is in English.

As for computer science: Have a look at Chaosradio Express (wiki.chaosradio.ccc.de/Chaosradio_Express) or Chaosradio (which I don't like too much, because of rather strange listener calls).

I improved my English quite a bit by listening to podcasts. If Gigili talks a bit about his/her interests, I maybe can recommend some German podcasts.

comment Explaining case and usage of “Richtung”
In a lot of cases, you would not use an article at all: "Folgen sie der Straße zwei Kilometer in Richtung Innenstadt"

@userunknown: After giving it some thought, you are probably right.

comment Are sentences with and without “dass” equally common?
In informal conversation, one would use (1) almost exclusively. For me it's a hard to think about an example of (2) in an informal conversation, an example would be: A: "Ich glaube" <silence> B: "Du glaubst was?" A: "Ich glaube, dass ich heute ins Kino gehe."

comment Word choice: “manuell” or “von Hand”?
I'd like to propose a completely different text: "Standort festlegen durch (GPS (automatisch) | Stadt | Koordinateneingabe)". This way the user will know that he is supposed to provide coordinates to his location for the third option without selecting the option. Without this information, one could ask what exactly "manual" means (in fact I wondered myself before your edit).

comment Word choice: “manuell” or “von Hand”?
Could you explain in short what the value is supposed to mean? I wonder also if you have enough space for additional words, like "von Hand auswählen..."

comment Are these two terms interchangeable?
@Alenanno: "Anstiftung" certainly sounds better to me and would be the word to choose if we talk about the act of talking someone into a crime.

comment How do we pronounce “China”?
Other words starting with "Ch" and spoken as "K": Cholera, Chlor (chlorine). Both words have roots in the Greek language, AFAIK.

comment “Schiffen gehen” — regionale Bedeutung?
Ich kenne ihn von hier (Unterfranken) auch als "Wasserlassen". Du solltest noch ergänzen, woher in Deutschland (?) du kommst.
