Criticism on my pronunciation

[SeekerOfPeace]

I've recored a very short sample:

虽然他看不见仙女美丽的脸。

Both files are saved as .mp3 (20,9 kb and 108 kb).

The other one is a question about "ch" and some sample.

I will take anything that is given in any form.

Too many stuffs before getting to anything which is not save thing to accept on the net.

Warning!

I have alread got something I don't want in my computer after clicking the link given above. But I don't think it's very dangurious one.

[SeekerOfPeace]

I've removed the links although to make sure.

Just attach them here - scroll down from the reply box and hit 'manage attachments'.

Alright, I've finally gotten around to attaching something.

I've just finished recording this. I just leave this mp3 going on and on until my list of new words are tattooed in my brain.

I was considering trying over and over again until it was perfect before posting but I'd like to hear any input you might have. I could do better than this but I wait until it's perfect, I'm going to wait a long time.

This is an mp3 file, it lasts 3 minutes. It's +/- 360 kb.

It's been scanned with AVG anti-virus, with the latest viral definition.

Here goes.

20 words.mp3

I wasn't satisfied with my first attempt so here's a second one, which I think it much better.

20 words better.mp3

I'm not a native speaker, or even a fluent speaker for that matter, but here is my advice anyway. I'm leaving blank the words I don't know.

1. 招呼 is fine, but in mainland it tends to be pronounced as zhāo hu rather than zhāo hū.

2. 溫和 is correct tonally, but the 'e' in wēn should sound like the vowel sound in the English "wood" or "would" (at least in American English) rather than that of "when." The Pinyin -en normally rhymes with "sun," but it has that 'oo' (as in "wood" not "food") in this case because the syllable wen is really w + un.

3. 剛纔 is better, but your first syllable sounds a little bit like gēng to me.

4. 夥伴 is good.

5. 總算 is good.

6.

7. 清新 is good.

8. 隨著 sounded like suí zhè. It should be pronounced suí zhe because 著 is always in the neutral tone when read as zhe.

9. 微波 sounds good, but ZDT says it means "microwave" rather than "ripple."

10. 圍 is good.

11.

12. 蔚藍 is good.

13. 廣闊 is good.

14.

15.

16.

17. 眼淚 is good.

18.

19. 失望 doesn't sound like there's enough stress on the first tone of 失.

20.

[SeekerOfPeace]

Alright, I will take your advice and try again, correcting the flaws in my pronunciation.

Cheers.

This is my very first time to come across the word 纔. Learning a new thing every day. FYI, the slang use of 微波 can mean flat chest.
