You very well may pronounce it spot on. It's just that from your spelling it
appears that you are committing typical English-speaker mistakes, like
confusing long and short vowels, adding dipthongs onto vowels, and using
stress instead of pitch accent. No need to get offended -- very few native
speakers of English can speak Japanese without an accent, and I'm not one of
them.
