You did a great job.

If someone wants to have a deeper understanding of brazilian portuguese pronunciation, I would recommend two books:

- Talking brazilian (Mário A. Perini) - Yale Language Series. I would recommend this book to any brazilian portuguese learner.

- Fonética e fonologia do português (Thaïs Cristófaro Silva) - Editora Contexto. This is an academic book to brazilian linguistics students, but it's not too complicated.

Both have audio CDs, and can be found on Amazon.

Thank you Diomedes. Are you Brazilian or Portuguese? I got much of my information from Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar. Their explanations are very deep, but I limited my guide to what I considered to be the basics. It doesn't have audio though, which is unfortunate, but that is pretty normal for grammars.

I'm brazilian. I'm not acquainted with brazilian portuguese grammars targeted at foreign students, but if you are referring to the Routledge book I just googled, it is probably excellent.
