What a wonderful, wonderful approach. Yes, if someone's interrupting you to correct you, it ruins your attempt to marshal your thoughts and destroys your confidence--and yet I never thought to consider correction-free instruction!
I think the way I've learned to fix mistaken ways of saying things, for myself, is to say something I think is correct, have the person I'm speaking to look a little puzzled, and then have them say, "You mean---" filling in with the right way of saying it. "Yes! That's it!" I say. And remember. The other is by listening to bunches of native speakers speaking together.
