Also, don't worry about their pronunciation so much. It's a hard thing to change in a day, week, month. It will come with time.
Well, I'm not particularly concerned about it, but it should be taught to the students. Also, I have a co-teacher and she is absoluetly horrified at the slightest error. As a result, she makes them repeat the correct pronounciation until they get it absoluetly correct (even if it takes 20 minutes).
