Love the effort bro! First tip is to work on the pronunciation of "z" sound in zai (在). It's a hard one but doesn't have as much of a "t" sound as your giving it. Also, "park" is gong1 yuan2 (公园); whereas, it sounded a bit like your were saying gong4 yong1.
Keep practicing my friend!
Hi thanks for your support and feedback! Yes I'm finding the 'zai' pronunciation hard, it is the one that the app I use, tells me I'm getting wrong the most. It's like it's not quite a zed and not quite a tee :-X
This week I'm going to concentrate on my tones; so hopefully that will help me get these tones right. Thanks for the tip about gongyuan, I don't want to let that slip because it's one of my favourite words so far, I just love the sound of it :-)

No problem! It took me quite a while as well to master that sound.
Working on tones is essential, it really is the #1 differentiating factor once your reach higher levels of vocabulary.
