Yes, pronouncing correctly is also important. But is does not always help to hear the difference.
For example, I am able to pronounce English final -n and -ng correctly (as in "sin" and "sing"). And I feel where my tongue is when pronouncing them.
But I still struggle to hear the difference in native speakers' speech When I hear "sin" and "sing", they often sound the same to me.
