    Thank all of you, this is exactly the kind of help that works for me best!

    I'm not certain if I am explaining that clearly.
    Be sure! Your recording speaks for you. Thanks for the rec. It works for me perfect.
    The problem was in wrong stressing, I guess. Ways of stressing words are different among our languages. I've never paid attention to this feature before, because I got used to Russian pronunciation and stressing and my ears are not "tuned" for another way of pronunciation. Hope the performance will improve next time, but think I need some more time to get them for sure.

    The 'money' pronunciation is shifted to more of a 'u' sound like in 'under', for typical native English speakers. 'Monday' has the same initial 'mun' sound as the initial part of 'money'.
    Yep, Seraph, gotcha! Glad you've noticed that. Just have to keep on practising.

    Another month ends. All targets met. All systems working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.
