Keep in mind you should listen to the Quran recitation from one Qari who professionally recite it such as Muhamed Khalil Al-Husary, Al-Minshawi, Mustafa Ismaeel, Abdul Basit Abdul Samad, and so on. 

Note: there are 10 Qira’ats but you should learn the basic recitation which is Hafs of “Asim al-Kufi”, the names of the others of Qira’ats are Naafi’ Al-Madani, Ibn Katheer Al-Makki

Abu Amr Al-Basri, Ibn Aamir Ash-Shami, Hamzah Al-Kufi, Al-Kisaa’I, Abu Ja’far Al-Madanee, Yaqub ibn Al-Basri, Khalaf.
