Hello there, I was looking at your language Revasthoro and I have a few comments. First, I strongly suggest you learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It is an indispensable tool to any linguistic or conlanger. It will allow you to accurately and precisely describe the sounds of your language without the use of clumsy example words, especially for vowels which vary between dialects. Second, you stated as a goal of your language to use simple sounds that are easy to pronounce for any potential learner. In this case, I recommend against the use of dental fricatives (the sounds written in English as "th"). These sounds are fairly uncommon cross-linguistically, meaning they do not appear in many languages across the world. Even many foreign learners of English have difficulty pronouncing them (which is why we mock many foreign accents by distorting the word "the").

I hope this advice will help you in your endeavor. If you would like any more assistance or suggestions, drop by my talk page and leave me a message.
