    I could understand you very well. I'll make just a couple suggestions for improvement. Work on pronouncing the letter "v". When you say 'everybody' it sounds like 'errbody'. To say the letter 'v' properly, your upper front teeth should touch you lower lip. Try that. Try practicing just the word 'very'. Then then try saying "e - very - body". Work some more on your 'r' sound. When you say 'sport', it sounds like you're saying 'spoat'. When you say 'rockets', it sounds like you're saying 'lockets'. Sometimes you add an extra syllable. When you say "and", it sounds like you're saying "an a". OK, keep up the good work. I'll pronounce these for you on the audio.
