im just putting it out there that in certain situations ppl wont correct u because they think it cud b rude wen u r trying so hard and u dnt know u sed anything wrong.

its different wen ur wrong, u mimic other ppls patterns naturally but wen ur older u need to be conscience of wots wrong and wots right.

as i sed though, this is just one aspect to language acquisition
Your answer is right there dude. Instead of wanting to get people to correct you. Just open up your ears more like a little kid, and listen, listen, listen, and repeat. Eventually when you have heard the language enough, you will find yourself correcting yourself, because to a certain extent you have been able to internalize the language like a native would.
