Where do you think I’m from?

Also, what is keeping me from sounding American? I think my main issues are intonation, stress, rhythm, etc… Anyway, please share what you think! TIA

I think you’re Swedish just like me. However if I didn’t listen for it I’d def thought you’re American. Yhewasyou say sure.

Hi Op it's 100% clear and you sound absolutely fluent. Check on the d enuncuation and words with s/z differences. Based on this, likely hispanic.

I want to guess where you live in the US: some where in the Great Lakes region. Specific guess is Western New York.

Ok now I will guess where you are from: Russia?

Espain?

I might be totally off the mark but I'd guess China?

Somewhere in the US, perhaps raised by non-native speaking parents?

I genuinely have no clue, you sound native

East Asian? Hard to know. Very close to native speaker, only slight accent.

My guess is Spain. You sound fantastic and completely clear. Some give aways that you are not a native speaker include the way you pronounce the t in ten at the beginning (your tongue makes contact with the backs of your front teeth, while native English speakers only touch the roof of their mouth with the very tip of their tongue) and the way you pronounce s—again put the tongue further back in your mouth. Congrats though I would love to be half as successful at learning a language as you have been.

Iran? Very clear pronunciation

I think your mother tongue is Spanish?

You are very clear and easy to understand. Your accent is maybe Slavic?

The way you pronounced “ten years” sounds Chinese imo (I’m Chinese btw)

My guess is China? But it's barely an accent you're very fluent

Brazil

Very hard to hear. I would guess South Korea.

The accent sounds familiar to me. I feel like I've heard it before? Which would make sense with the Spanish.. maybe from Argentina :)

Either a Spanish speaking country or Portuguese..

Spanish, or another romance language like Portuguese maybe
