    Oh that's really nice! To my ears though, -яя and -ее sound pretty much the same. Guess I'll have to listen to it a couple of 100 times.

    It might help. Also, perhaps listening to songs could be helpful and more fun.

    Unstressed endings can be pronounced identically. It’s not your ears’ fault.
