How to succeed in having good pronunciation within a week to a month?

Start by learning the alphabet well. Arabic is one of the most widely spoken languages ​​in the world, having many millions of speakers, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. 
Known as Darija in Morocco, the Moroccan Arabic dialect brings together other varieties of the language spoken in the country, and is used as the lingua franca between Arabic-speaking and Berber-speaking people.
Darija is characterized by the use of the Latin alphabet and numbers on the Internet and SMS, and by the substitution of some letters of standard Arabic. Here are some examples: 
The ث is replaced by ت. 
The ظ is replaced by ض. 
The pronunciation of standard Arabic is based on simple vowels or diphthongs and emphatic consonants (velar consonants which influence the timbre of surrounding vowels). It is notable that the writing of certain letters changes according to their position within a word. Here are some pronunciation guidelines for Moroccan Arabic: 
The خ is pronounced like the Spanish JOTA or the German CH.
The ح is aspirated as in the Arabic name Hasan.
The ھ is pronounced by a slight exhalation, like the English H of HOME.
The ر is pronounced like a rolled R.
