worries about pronunciation: f&v sounds' case
I've decided to improve my pronunciation with help of teachers from italki, my favorite source of finding teachers :)
And this morning I had a class about f a v sounds in cases when they go together in one word, like in words five, favor, fervent, fever, flavor. And I should say, as always it was fantastic.
Except learning of how to pronounce sounds correctly, on my opinion, it's important to don't forget about your manner or style, and, of course, the content of your speech. And I think that you shouldn't worry about mistakes of pronunciation in let's call it real speech because the only way of changing habits is to practice fervently when you practice, but when you start speaking in real life, just forgive yourself ahead for all future mistakes and for frivolity to pronounce without thinking much about correctness of pronunciation.
When you feverishly fear the worst, the worst will obviously happen. This fact counts in favor of aforesaid stuff )

I think you have a fantastic philosophy about life in general and learning a new language. Most of my teaching is in the classroom but I make my students speak on Skype with native speakers of English and I tell them not to worry about mistakes, just speak and keep speaking. I give course credit for the effort. Like many things in life such as roller skating or riding a horse for example, if you’re not making mistakes you’re not trying. Your butt should be getting dirty from falling down.

I enjoyed your article very much as I agree with your opinion! Being able to forgive one's self is vital in the learning process but your suggestion that one should "Forgive oneself in advance" is great advice!
