Quite good but a few words cannot be accurately understood.

Thanks Tough to improve with few people around to properly practise. But it comforts me that it's not utter crap

[Ars Moriendi]

Quite good but a few words cannot be accurately understood.

Here's what I said:

A vers a trianoni békeszerződésre reflektál erősen hazafias hevülettel, az ott elvesztett területek visszafoglalását vetítve előre, egyúttal pedig tökéletesen kifejezve az akkori közhangulatot.

What specific words did I say wrong?

Highlighted, this is a difficult word. I listened again, in other words understandable but must to concentrate better pronunciation. Not bad for a foreigner!

What about my accent? It's me reading an article from Wikipedia so my intonation might be off at times, how does it sound to you?

You have a beautiful and soothing soft voice which is pleasant on the ears and a very nice Polish accent which sounds civilised and refined. I like it that Polish is now officially England's second language due to the amount of Polish people living here who speak it, as it's a lovely language. It's nice that we get to hear Polish accents regularly here in the UK too as I like to hear different accents.

We don't officially even have a first language. The only language with any kind of official status in the UK is Welsh (unless you count languages like Scots Gaelic that fall under the EU Minority Languages rules). Even English has no official standing. What you mean to say is, I'm happy more people speak Polish as a first language than any other language except English in the UK.
