Hi Ivana; The pronunciation "mistakes" I have heard are usually accents caused by interference with the speaker's mother tongue. For example, many non-native speakers have problems with the "th" sound. Here is an interesting site which has recordings of non-native English speakers with phonetic transcriptions.
