    Thanks, fortheether. Now I see how bad I really am and I'm not being too hard on myself, just being realistic. I think right now I'll focus on at least some consonants and after that I'll try to hone the vowel sounds I've practiced so far. That will help me to pronounce words properly because it's obvious that my consonants desperately require some serious work, and even more than that bad consonants also tend to modify the vowels they precede. So lots of work to be carried out.

    After that's been done I think I'll try to be more creative in my recordigs, maybe some simple sentences, minimal pairs and so on are to come.

    And one more time, thank you for all the invaluable help you've provided.
    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.
