No. You have made two syllables of minds; you have also pronounced the like of alike as the first of two syllables instead of the second. The first consonant of thinks is almost /s/.

I admire your persistence, SweetFreedom, but you really need to find a native speaker in your city to do some intensive practice with.

That's odd. It should have come through. Maybe somebody is doing maintenance on the website? You can try again a little later, and see what happens. If you're still having trouble later, post it in the "Help" forum.
