The first step to learn a new language is to break your tongue: listen and struggle to repeat. Don't use somebody elses strugglings in your own language for that, it's merely a hint of vocal chains they are unused to. You have to stumble yourself the opposite way.

learning to change/control your natural movement of your tongue helps a lot more
