I can't listen to your recording at the moment but, in the meantime, please note my corrections above.

Hi Boqui, and welcome.

"I'd like to know" sounds like "I like to know".
"accent" sounds a little like "accint".
"because my .... is to have". I could not make out the bit in the middle.
"an American accint ....". Again, "accent" sounds like "accint", and I could not make out the words after that.

Thank you for the respond.

I said: "... because my final goal is to have an American accent."

I might have to speak more clearly, yes, but I think that's more about me than my English skills. Sometimes I speak too fast in my native language and people don't undestand all.

Other parts of the recording seem understandable?

Thank you one more time!

You're welcome.
"respond" is a verb; "response" is the equivalent noun. You could also say "Thanks for responding". However, there's really no need to say that in writing on this forum. Clicking Thank/Like suffices.

Definitely speak more slowly and clearly, especially now that you're learning a foreign language.

Then it's definitely worth your while trying to slow down a bit.

No worries.

Which sounds would you recommend me to practise?

People from the east Europe have that russian accent but I think I don't sound like that.
I am in proccess of aquiring the intonation of English.

Well, the first sounds you should practise are those that teechar pointed out in post #3.
