Why is it a challenge?

It is true that :

  • The vowels of your language surely are not equal to those of English.
  • There are consonant sounds that you do not have.
  • You have no notion of the way they reduce the vowels of Function words and the non-emphasized syllables of the Content words.
  • You probably do not put words together to produce the expressions you want to say.
  • Do not intonate the way they do.

But:

  • You know how to produce sounds.
  • You have a brain with the ability to learn.
  • You will not cheat yourself.
  • The main dictionaries already represent the sounds with symbols of the International Phonetic Association

And here you will find the tools and knowledge to achieve your goal of learning another language.

They learn English the same way you learned your language. And they can not read when they learn it. So they learn sounds. And later, when they arrive at school they face the task of relating the sounds they know with their writing.
