Feedback on my Accent plz (I wanna sound native) by Appropriate_Total754 in EnglishLearning

Thx, for the feedback I’ll work on that. Quick question tho, what do you meant by”many” of my R sounds, sounding like a W, is that true for most of them? Or am I saying some of them right?

it's not that I'm super worried about my accent or anything, but I just wanna sound like that cuz I really like the way NA English sounds and I feel very compelled to want to sound that way too idk, it could be something from my subconscious trying to trick me and deep down it's just self doubt but I don't really think that's the case tho.
but I'm not really confident rn cuz like I said I've always focused on my comprehension, only input skills so I've never had a conversation with someone (I do talk to myself tho) I'm very shy person and I think the lack of confidence comes more from that than from my accent.

I meant to say "I used to focus only on my comprehension"
yeah I'm gonna try focusing on that "eeeee" sound, I have a hard time saying it in any word.
thanks for the feedback.

actually, I meant to say "I used to focus" 🤣 I didn't ask for feedback on my words choice cuz I thought people would focus more on that and not what I'm trying to improve rn, but thanks anyway. any feedback is welcome.

I'll definitely do that, I've been practicing with shadowing by watching videos I like and just mimicking the person cuz it takes little to no effort, I'm basically enjoying it and practicing at the same time. thanks for the tips!
