Hi there! I'd like to ask you to listen to the audio and give me some feedback. What should I focus on improving? What is your overall perception of my pronunciation?

I could make out "develop my speaking". I could also make out "for over three years". Could you post what you said?

You've done quite well, given that you have impaired hearing. One thing I noticed: your pronunciation of the "sh" sound (as in "English") could be improved. It comes across as "th" (as in "thanks").
Also, your "motivation" sounds like "mochivation", but that might have something to do with your Portuguese language background. It's a simple "t" sound (not a "ch").

thank you for you feedback. I'll pay attention to how I'm articulating these two sounds.
