A: Not exactly, you won’t hear anyone say it like that. The dictionary definitions of thrive are
1. to grow vigorously
2. to gain in wealth or possessions
3. to progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances

You would hear “I enjoy learning”.
“I thrive when I’m learning.” would be like what you said.

A: You said it perfectly. You use "pretty damn" in front of a sentence you want to slightly emphasize in a casual way. Usually you use it to say "That's pretty damn good!" or "That's pretty damn stupid". Usually it's only used by southerners in the USA. I'm a southerner and we have a lot of slang words like this.

A: There's no a difference, don't worry. I just made the first word have a slightly longer sound. You can say it with a longer or shorter sound, there's no difference.

A: The pronunciations are not the same. The second “d” in “downsides” can be heard. When pronouncing “d,” the tip of the tongue touches the upper palate close to the teeth, whereas when pronouncing the “z” sound the tip of the tongue does not touch the palate. The final sound in “downsides” sounds like “dz.”

A: I’m here to practice English everyday.

Your pronunciation is good. Very clear, you have a little accent but that’s ok 💪

A: "Very" should be used instead of "much" in your second sentence. The first sentence only makes sense if it is a follow-up question. If it is the first question asked, it should be "How is my pronunciation?"

A:

Here’s the bad news – you do not sound American.

The good news, however, is that you sound quite Irish.

I’m going to give you the same advice that I give to all of my speech students – stop worrying about trying to achieve, or hide, accents. Nobody cares about accents – the important thing is to pronounce the words correctly, using the native understanding of sounds.

With this as a measurement, your pronunciation is fairly good. There’s still a little bit of work to do, but you have obviously come a long way already. You will probably advance a lot quicker if you stop worrying about trying to achieve an accent.

A: I had to familiarize myself with the band. I'm using the song linked below as my example.
The male voice is speaking more than singing and he is speaking clearly.
He has a rhotic or strong R sound. There's worse examples of pronunciation than this. However, I generally don't recommend music for pronunciation. You never know if they are changing the pronunciation for musical purposes or if they're saying it how it would be said in a normal conversation.
