As others have said you are fine, but you need to work on getting that "th" sound through more clearly because it is sounding identical to your "f" sound. So when you say "thought" it's sounding like "faught". Don't worry, you are not the only person because I've met TONS of people who can't make the "th" sound because their native language simply doesn't have that sound.
As an Englishman I know a lot of Brits who don't make the "th" sound. For years, my little brother couldn't even tell the difference.

Well, that's rather interesting :p
How do they pronounce it instead? Like an F?

They do indeed. It sounds really weird, especially whenever they use the word "three."

Sounds perfectly fine to me. I like how you ended the audio clip. It made me laugh.

Captcha - I'm sorry Dave.

You've got the wrong guy, Captcha.

i can understand you completely 100%

its Chinese people i cant understand. i work at tim hortons and when they want a "Large Ice Cap" they say "La,Ie Ka"

now i dont mean to be rude but... wtf is a La Ie Ka, at least try to pronounce the words. its all i ask.

it took me a loonng time to understand them but i still have trouble some times, still kinda pee's me off though because it sounds like they're not trying to speak English.
oh that feel. my engineering fluid dynamics teacher has this problem to the extreme, he's using big words on top of his beyond broken accent, so if you miss anything you are essentially lost for the next 2 hours of lecture. (not to mention the fucker uses his OWN DAMN FORMULAS that are "more advanced than the textbooks" as he put it, so there is no simply reading the book for that class.)

OT: You sounded great, i mean you have an obvious accent but it is not bad, hell i know plenty of native english speakers who have a worse accent then you

i'm not even a grammar nazi and that makes me cringe just thinking about that...

it wouldn't bug me if someone is doing it humorously but that just seems like such a "what the fuck are you doing, am i the only one hearing this?!?" moment.
