You have a very strong accent. I struggled to understand about a third of what you said on my first listening. After listening to it three times, this is what I heard. I have written how it sounds.
Hi or. How are you? I hope you are fine.
Today I would like to ask you about somesing which is so important for me. Zat when I need(meet) a word in dis wiz(end with ) ??? sound, de little dee, I tink(tend) to owe(omit( it ze letter d orz a the sound.
For example, wind. I like it difficult to say it wind so I say it wind so quickly.
I am sure it's wrong to do that but it's ... how do you think?
It is not your accent that is a problem but your pronunciation, which is a different thing.
I think you should probably spend most of your energy on improving your grammar and vocabulary.
(Here's a tip: Next time you record yourself for uploading to the forum, turn the TV off!)
I wanted to seem like a native linking words not to be understood by non-natives.:-D
But you could understand me.:lol:

I think my grammar and vocabulary are [STRIKE]so[/STRIKE] very good. (Space needed after a full stop) It is only my pronunciation which needs more practice.

Why don't you want to be understood by non-natives?
That's almost impossible for anybody beyond a certain age. (A famous example is Henry Kissinger, who came to this country at ten and never shed his accent.)
You have a very strong accent.

I was kidding as he was kidding. (space needed after a full stop) I meant nothing at all; I was just kidding.
[STRIKE]Then[/STRIKE] No one has answered my question [STRIKE]mentioned[/STRIKE] in the thread [STRIKE]head[/STRIKE] title.
It is easier not to say the d sound at the end of a word. Am I right?
That was my question.
I have no idea what "I was kidding as he was kidding" means. Who is "he"?
It was you who said You have a very strong accent.
You were kidding (no comma here) because my accent is still growing and not strong as you wrote.

1. Why do you assume I am a "he"?
2. Are you telling me I'm wrong with my statement that you have a very strong accent?
3. What do you mean by "my accent is still growing"?
