    You can tell there's an accent there but you sound really good! How long have you been practicing?

    I have known English for 15 years, I think, since when I was 5 years old.

    Why? As long as you're understandable you should have a Polish accent, being from Poland. It can be endearing.

    I find it weird sometimes when foreigners sound native English or American, it's like they're trying to hide something.

    You have never heard the actual Polish accent. It's ugly as hell, at least for my ears.

    practice elocution exercises, as well as understanding how the accent you want to make feels on your tongue when you’re speaking.

    i remember speaking horrible korean to some korean speakers and that was the first thing they told me individually. get to know the sounds on your lips and tongue, like how the sounds feel.

    I regularly check the IPA content. I still can't figure out how to make, e.g. the rhotic R sound, because it sounds like "rl" like in "girl" or "Earl". WTH
