http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th-fronting
This is basically, a pronunciation of 'th' as either an 'f' or a 'v'. And I do it. I'm conscious of it so in some cases I can force the 'th' although being conscious of it means that sometimes I pronounce 'f' as 'th'  But, with some words I really can't do the 'th' e.g. clothes, months, etc.
Will it be a problem in the classroom? |

Bite your tongue (literally).
Wif practice you can overcome dis problem but you will consciously and consistently need to force your self to place the tongue between the teeth and force the th sound instead of the "F"/"V" until the habit becomes ingrained.

| A friend pointed out that I made/make this same error. I've been slowly improving and now get most of it right. Takes some concious effort though. Never really affected me much though. |
