I've been practicing English pronunciation for three months. I've used a few methods to practice it. I started to use one of them, "The Jingles." In this method, I can train my muscle to pronounce English sounds like native English speakers. Please look at a picture that I attached. I've used the red one for 29 days, and I'll finish it when I do the final practice in it today.

In this picture, I'm biting my tongue lightly to make "th" sound. I've practiced "th" sound with the red one. I don't know if my pronunciation developed or not, but I could realized that when I tried to make it, I could bite my tongue more naturally than old days. I've also practiced "r" and "l" sounds, so I hope I could improve these sounds too.

It's time to graduate the red one. Tomorrow, I'll start to use the blue one.

  • I've been practicing English pronunciation for three months.

  • I've been practicing English pronunciation for the last three months.

    just to further specify that the three months you are talking about are the ones that have just passed.

 
  • I've used a few methods to practice it.

  • I've been using a few different methods to do so.

    since you are still practicing I think "I've been using" is a bit better.

 
  • I started to use one of them, "The Jingles." In this method, I can train my muscle to pronounce English sounds like native English speakers.

  • I started with one called, "The Jingles." In this method, I can train the muscles in my mouth to pronounce English sounds like native English speakers.

 
  • I've used the red one for 29 days, and I'll finish it when I do the final practice in it today.

  • I've used the red book for 29 days, and I'll finish it when I do the final practice in it today.

  • In this picture, I'm biting my tongue lightly to make a "th" sound.

 
  • I've practiced "th" sound with the red one.

  • I've practiced "th" sounds with the red book.

 
  • I don't know if my pronunciation developed or not, but I could realized that when I tried to make it, I could bite my tongue more naturally than old days.

  • I don't know if my pronunciation has developed or not, but I've realized that I can position my tongue more naturally than in the old days.

 
  • It's time to graduate the red one.

  • It's time to graduate from the red one.

 
  • Tomorrow, I'll start to use the blue one.

  • I'll start to use the blue one tomorrow.

    I put tomorrow at the end because the main point of your sentence is that you are moving to the blue one.

 

Keep up the excellent work! :)

Does "for last three month" means March, April, and May? Also, if I write "for three month," reader can't understand which three months I try to say about?

"position"...I didn't know that I can use "position" as a verb.

Also, I have to memorize "in the old days."

I think readers can understand even if you don't say "for the last...".. it's just something that gets added sometimes.
