Hello! This is my first post on this forum, and I'd like to ask for a feedback on my pronunciation, if the author of this thread allows me to join his request. Thanks!

Hello, and welcome. :)
1- Please do not add your posts to existing threads. Start a new thread for new questions.
2- Do not add formatting to links. Just post them as they are.
3- You need to work on your pronunciation of /θ/ (which comes across like /s/), and of /ð/ (which comes across like /z/).
For /θ/, bite the tip of your tongue (make sure the tip of your tongue is between your upper and lower teeth), and just blow out air (it's unvoiced).
For /ð/, do the same as above, but as you blow out the air, turn on the engine of your voice box! It's a voiced sound.
