P.S.

all -Nya(s) are perfect for me, I didn't find it weird on my ears. But I gave marks on what I heard it's kinda unnatural. (well, idk it maybe your accent. but that's it). Intonation is perfect.

Overall you have perfect pronunciation! But it will be more perfect if you can practice some words like : * datang * enak * juga bagus * kecil * teman * kupang

Hi Carmela~ Your pronounciation is great, I don't find it weird. But you know what, you have unique accent when pronounce "T" sound that makes you speak like Balinese. ^^ (Yeeeyyyy~~!) I just wanna correct these: 1. Dosen di Universitas Widya Buana bagus. "bagus" --- only used for things not person. "Dosen" is person so we usually use "baik" not "bagus". Or maybe you could say "Kualitas dosen di Universitas Widya Buana bagus." *Kualitas = quality 2. The term "kawin" --- grammatically not wrong. But it's impolite. Kawin ----- usually used for animal Menikah ------ usually used for person So, you could say "Teman saya sudah menikah". Good luck Carmela~~ :)
