A lot of people are worried about their accent but as an American I like hearing different accents. As long as we can communicate there’s no problem.

I got lucky I grew up in England and learned literature from a Yorkshire teacher! The rest is history...

Does slang,idioms and jokes means sounds like a native?

It's funny. English is maybe the only language where accent pretty much doesn't matter. Obviously pronunciation is important and like any language you need to be understandable, to be understood. But full on no one but assholes care about accent. It's such a polycentric language already that there really isn't a correct accent. Like an Irishman from Kerry, a hillbilly from appalachia, and a bogan from rural Australia are all equally native speakers but you're smoking crack if you can say one or all of them aren't natives despite sounding COMPLETELY different

Why do so many English learners struggle, even after years of study?
I explore three key obstacles: perfectionism, constant self-comparison, and the fear of mistakes.
If you want to improve your English, change your mindset. Focus on input, enjoy the process, and let go of unrealistic expectations.
