[h=3]Second time with d sound at the end of a word.[/h]I hope I will be a little bit clear this trial.

Regarding your pronunciation of the final /d/ in wind only:

The first time you say wind in isolation (0:26) the pronunciation is good but the second time (0:27) the /d/ is not audible.

Whether we would understand you if you omitted the sound in natural speech is not really possible to answer because intelligibility relies so heavily on contextual clues. So if, for example, we had been having a conversation about the wind when you said, it would be very obvious what you mean.

So if the context is clear to the second person,I can say it quickly or even omit it.

You can say it quickly if you want to, yes, but you shouldn't omit it.

The way you pronounce the final /d/ depends on the initial sound of the following word. If that sound is a vowel, the /d/ should be pronounced very clearly.

Practise saying these phrases:

the wind is blowing hard
standing in the wind and the rain

Okay, the first line is not too bad.

With the second line (standing in the wind and the rain), don't stop after the word wind. Try to connect the final 'd' to the 'a' of and.

Here's another exercise for you. Look at this short phrase:

wind or rain

Try to say it so that it sounds exactly like this:

win door rain

Does not too bad mean my sentence pronunciation is not clear and will not be understood ?

No, it means it's okay.

That's good. Well done. You are connecting the words much better than before.

Not too bad does not mean bad. It means the opposite. If he had said not too good you could assume things hadn't gone well.
