Please evaluate my pronunciaiton/accent

[lolowiec]

Hello
Some time ago, I recorded my English and I wanted you to evaluate it. Now, I'm asking for the same thing.
The old audio: https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/...please-say-a-couple-of-words-about-my-English
The new one: https://voca.ro/1KnCbzjO5ASh

BTW, I always confuse "video" and "audio" and I cannot weed this habit out from my speech.

I'm interested mainly in the evaluation of my accent and pronunciation.
1) Can I be easily understood?
2) Do I have a thick accent? Is it too thick?
3) Don't I use too many self-repairs? I think this might be my pain in the neck.
4) What's my level of English in general?

Do you think that I may be underestimating myself? Sometimes, I'm happy with my level of English (I felt comfortable while talking to natives), but usually, I reckon my linguistic skills aren't so good.
Thanks for feedback in advance.

1) Yes
2) Yes. No.
3) No.
4) Probably C1.

You seem a bit more fluent than back in October.

Thank you What's the problem with "my pain in the neck"? Is it a mistake to use a possessive adjective in this context? Should I have said "a pain in the neck"?

What's the problem with "my pain in the neck"?

"A pain in the neck" is a set expression.

Should I have said "a pain in the neck"?

Yes.
Also, work on your pronunciation of "that". It sounds like "thut" or, sometimes, "thud".

Which segment of the word is articulated incorrectly? The vowel?

 

[teechar]

The vowel and the final (t) sound.

 

[lolowiec]

The vowel and the final (t) sound.

Sometimes, I pronounce short a instead of the /æ/ sound, right?

In that context, we would say, "They're a pain in the neck."
