You'd be understood by most people, but you don't sound quite English.

Your tone needs a lot of improvement. You sound like you are speaking a different language with english words you know what i mean? Listen carefully to the emphasis people put on certain parts of words and sentences on english television or radio to learn that quicker. Keep practicing and have fun, cya!

...every year between January 21st and February 21st. Sounds like this: January twenty-first and february twenty-first. Then there is twenty-second, twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, thirtieth. I can't even think of any situation where you would say twenty-one rather than twenty-first. This pattern is the same for all numbers below the twenties too. Cya

I think your sound is not bad , especially when learing a foreign language. Speed of your speaking is not a main problem , but you have to try improve your sound clearer.

Very good pronunciation, but it still needs a little polishing. I'm adding an audio comment on how you should pronounce those words. Pay attention on the pronunciations for 'pig', 'world' and 'chinese.'

Hi Gustavo. I thought you did a fine job. I have attached an audio example of how I say the same phrase so you could here it from an American. You will notice how I say 21st and not 21 along with 18th and not 18.

Keep up the great work!!

This submission consists of a series of short, simple sentences in the format subject-verb-object, which is known as "Primer style." Books that helped English children learn to read English contained sentences in this format, and this approach became known as "Primer style." It is best to avoid primer style, by use of a mix of various sentence structures. To avoid having your writing or speech labelled as too elementary, write with a mix of simple sentences, compound and complex sentences.
