(o´ω｀o) 29 Q

I just received mail wishing me "Good Luck!" for my study session today. I always feel guilty because I'm dragging my studying out as much as possible. I wake up determined, and by the time I've finished my tea I flake out on myself. It's a bad habit I REALLY need to kick! It's hard to find a study partner, one who's willing to stick with you, and are also serious about learning Japanese. The Boy is helping me, gradually. However he never corrects any mistakes - but I never correct his either. It seems if I correct him, it confuses him more, and I feel he needs the pronunciation more so.

Has anyone else ever found it difficult to try teach their mother tongue, only to become tongue tied in how you pronounce it? For starters I have a really strong dialect and I never sound typically British either.
