Pronunciation Practice
I started to practice my English pronunciation from June 21st. Yesterday, my American language partner told me that I sounds like a slow speaking American sometimes and he thought my pronunciation is improved than two months ago. I was happy about his comment which means my effort takes effect. I need to continue my practice. Less is more, I need to focus on the basic words. I hope I can find more American language partners on italki.

Sometimes, and he thought my pronunciation is had improved than from/compared to two months ago. I was happy about with his comment, which means my effort takes effect has paid off . I need to continue my practice. Less is more, I need to focus on the basic words. I hope I can find more American language partners on italki.
"Paid off" used like this means that you can see the benefits of your hard work or determination. The other meaning is to literally pay someone with money. See examples for both meanings here :

Pronunciation Practice
I have been practicing my English pronunciation since June 21. Yesterday, my American language partner had told me that, at times, I sounded like a slow-speaking American, yet, he also thought my pronunciation had improved from the level it was at two months ago. I was happy about his comments, as that meant my efforts have taken some effect. I certainly need to continue with my practice. Since, in a manner of speaking, less is more, I need to focus on the basic words, as building blocks for the construction of my sentences. I sincerely hope I can find more language partners, especially Americans, here on Italki!
Hi, Warren. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. Sincere apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. J.
