I remember that the first time I took Phonetics and Phonology lessons was very difficult.Throughout this time, I needed to differentiate many similar sounds and phonemes; I began to feel weird and very confused. But then, I realized that I really needed it, otherwise I could have felt lost about some new knowledge in advanced. After some time, the lessons began to like me and at the end of the course, I learnt a lot. But I should say that even now, sometimes, I need to figure somethings out when I am looking for similar and new words.
I was very interested in speaking like an English people because all the time I have thought that if a person is learning a language, she or he should try to do her or his best to get the whole acknowledge. So, I recommend people look for many exercises about those topics or try new ways by themself to learn more.
Knowing a new language always is very excited and people can find good and entertained ways to get it!
Grizly , you have reminded me a recent article I have read that says something like ...we should not worry about speaking as a native speaker , but to be understood.
