Isolated words are pronounced correctly but the rest is ear-tiring.

You may want to make your students aware of glottal stops which are as crucial as ptk aspiration.

Anyway, do you use 'puff' as an linguistic term?

[Tubarc]

Nope, just as part of the pronunciation process to achieve the correct sound.

Thanks!

Very good class! Congratulations!

But to me..your English still sounds like "Brazilian English"...

[Tubarc]

Of course since I learned English at the age of 26 and it become hard to speak like native. Thanks.

That's funny that you can pronouce the words really well when you speak them outside a sentence, but you have a very heavy accent when you talk normally...
