How do you pronounce "Vierzig"

I know there is a post that asked this exact question 3 years ago, but honestly, the comments were just people arguing, and I didn't really understand the explanations. So my question is:

In some videos they pronounce it as "fir-tsich" or as "für-tsich" and in others as "feer-tsich", so are all of these pronunciations correct?
Danke in advance!

How to properly learn German (Self study)

I've seen many posts saying not to learn German from an English point of view, i.e., not to use Google Translate to translate each word in a sentence 1:1. I'm currently doing Nico's Weg A1, and if I get confused/stuck on anything, I search online and usually find an answer. So my question is: what is the proper way to learn German? Any other tips would be appreciated. Danke!
