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

Spoken by more than 3 million people around the world, Lithuanian is written with the Latin alphabet, enriched by the use of diacritics and diagrams. The accents can be used to indicate the length of the vowels or the accent of the word. The language also has a pitch accent which distinguishes two mobile intonations, one rough and the other soft. 
With 12 vowels and 20 consonants, the pronunciation of Lithuanian is clear and vocalic, closer to Slavic or Romance languages ​​than to Germanic ones owing to a lack of aspiration. It is a language of three accents: ascending, descending and long.
