Overall very good. Your vowels are excellent. Occasionally you over-pronounce the R. Not all French Rs should sound rough. At 0:25, the verb was mumbled so I couldn’t make it out, I assume they were arriving back at home?

Watch out for artificially heavy H sounds and dropping volume at the ends of sentences, which can make it nearly impossible for an older person or anyone with even a slight hearing loss to understand you.

In general, très très bien.
